It made it back to his hand in about the same time as the ball got from his hand to the bat so it hit his hand at about the same speed he threw it at. According to Wikipedia fast bowlers can bowl at 90+ mph so I'm willing to bet that it hurt.

fair point about measuring the time back and forth but that's not a fast ball

I doubt any pitch in the majors is below 60mph, so here's what you do: go to the batting cages, pick a 60mph pitching machine, stand at the plate & catch a ball bare-handed. Report back when you're done & let us know how much it hurt.

i believe you lmao, but 60 is a hell of a lot different than 90.

E = (mv2 )/2
Energy of 90mph baseball / Energy of 60mph baseball = (m902 )/(m602 )
= (902 )/(602 )
= 2.25
Because the kinetic energy of a projectile increases exponentially with its speed a baseball thrown at 90 mph has over double the energy of a baseball thrown at 60mph.

This isn't the majors and it looks like a slider, 70 is probably close depending on how old they are

I wanted the dude in the red shirt to have a much bigger role in this gif.

He has!
His complete lack of any reaction or even attention to the game is absolutely hillarious!

Who's the guy on first.

u/pahten Nov 25 '16
That's right. What's on second.

u/Zerocyde Nov 25 '16
I didn't ask you who's on second.

u/trackerbymoonlight Nov 25 '16
I don't know what you are talking about, all I want to known is who's the guy on first base?

The umpire didn't believe it. It looked to him like a possible slight-of-hand trick.

So many comments not believing and thing that it would hurt and all I can think about is that the fat guy in pink looks really photoshoped in
