More amazing watching a 7 year old hit a 50MPH ball out of a machine from 40

Which is why 100+ mph fastballs appear to "rise".

So a 90+ knuckle ball would be impossible to hit than

A 45 mph knuckleball is pretty much impossible to hit.

I had a coach in little league who had a mean knuckleball. It was insane.

Phenomenal book on knuckleball pitcher: "Wherever I Wind Up" by R.A. Dickey.

You won't regret it at all. I found it fascinating and I never even played

Well yes, but nobody can throw a 90 mph knuckleball.

but just imagine

That's like imagining if someone could throw a 140mph fastball.

it's coming..I mean we are up to 110 MPH now.

I'm not sure a human can generate enough torque to throw that hard.

My 15 year old daughter doesn't like baseball and liked that video. She just passed my desk as I was watching...

I believe they're testing the pitchers mound at 62 feet in one of the minor leagues to improve batting.

I know I'm going off topic, but I've always wondered why we use lasers/glasses

I could be wrong but I think they correct the eye as best as they can and then

And yet hitters "just need to adjust to the shift.." Its essentially luck
