My Dad Hit Me With A 82MPH Pitch It Hurt
No, that would hurt, but I'd go down swinging, and if I happen to connect..bye, bye, baby, I'm running for home!
Yes, they were actually a little faster at times. After getting a few of those and then a 65 MPH change up or knuckler can make a guy look like a little league reject.
90mph. I have several friends I grew up with that became major league pitchers that I would play baseball with. Catching a 80+mph knuckleball is a lot of fun, with it jumping around you feel relieved it didn't nail you between the eyes or in the gut when you catch it.
Only in a batting cage with a machine, actually 100 was the fastest. I never played above the high school level, I never saw a person actually throw a fastball at me anywhere near those speeds. Back when I was in school radar guns were not used. Hitting any well thrown pitch whether it is fast, a slider or a curve is no simple task though
Nope. I try to avoid those.
al stole my answer
Batting cage, yes.
Highest setting always.
Anything less is boring and pointless.
First time you see it you pee a little bit...its pretty scary
Well, have you?
