People who dont understand baseball don't realize that batters have virtually no time to decide what to do with a 95 mph pitch, as soon as the ball is released, you have to predict the ball's end location and basically start your swing as soon as the ball is released, then you have to decide whether to swing or lay off. There's a reason why hitting a baseball is one of the hardest things to do in all of sports.

Bro got 90000rpm on his fastball for a 40mph pitch to not drop at all💀

I've faced up to 95mph as a hitter. As velocity increases, the perceived difference increases also. There's a huge difference between 85 and 88mph. But the difference seems much bigger from 90 to 93. At 90mph or so, you start hearing the ball out of the pitcher's hand a lot more. It's a hiss and a slight buzz as it approaches the plate. And it's louder than anything else in your brain for that half second. The faster the pitch, the louder the buzz and it's a little bit terrifying. Good times! :) Overall though, the animation is good at showing relative velocities and reaction time required. Now just get your hands on a high end Magnus effect simulator and you can start throwing deuces. :P

The 100 mph one was faster than the 90 mph one

And there's Shohei Ohtani pitching at speed 100+mph and hitting a ball pitched at 100+ mph 🗿

MLB hitters have a god-like ability to process information. They've got a fraction of a second to read pitch location, velocity, and break. It's a miracle anyone can hit against modern MLB pitchers.

As a hitter who had the “lucky” chance to face 101mph in a game, in my experience, 100 and 92 look almost identical to the eyes, however, when swinging at 100, I felt like my hands were so slow, like suddenly my bat speed disappeared

I'm 70 and I throw 15.

90mph is 132 ft/sec. The rubber is 60.5' away. That means from the rubber to the plate takes only 0.4583 seconds. At 95mph, that is 139.333 ft/sec and only 0.4342 sec. 100mph, 146.6667 ft/sec, 0.4132 sec.

Nice. Would like to see the view as hitters and catchers point of view. A break down in different mound differences. Like, 45 50 55 60 65 for mound distance for 10-12 years then distance and speed for average 13-16 , high school , and the. Professional. I think it would be useful

This looks pretty good. Great depiction of the reaction time. What’s crazy though is that nothing could ever capture what it’s really like unless you’re standing in the batters box. I played baseball through college and I have no idea how these guys in the pros do it. The best pitcher I ever faced barely scratched the surface in the pros. He was an absolute stud in college. Threw the ball over 95 miles an hour as a pitcher and he led the league in Home runs as a hitter. Now the slowest pitchers in baseball will throw 95. They pull 100 like it’s nothing. A guy that throws upper 90s to 100 with multiple pitches is just insane.

Not to knock you or anything but these animations lack physics. A 40mph pitch doesn't travel in a straight line across a distance of 60.6ft. A 40mph pitch would have a significant arch to it.

Hitting a baseball: The only thing in life where you can fail 7 times out of 10, and people will say you're very good at it.

To make it more realistic, you could have factored gravity in. The equations are simple, and it shows the additional time you get on the slower pitches due to the loft needed to reach the plate.

the velo feels exaggerated and surprising cause the pitcher's delivery is so nonchalant and doesn't appear to conform with what you may expect in real life. It would be interesting if you could capture just the 'silhouette' of an actual pitcher and alter the perspective accordingly.

I top out around 70

A good pov if possible is to see it from the batters pov

This is really good for helping people understand at a basic level. Even if it doesn't actually represent the true speed of a pitch because the horizontal velocity by a slower pitch will be greater then that of a faster pitch. This leads to a 40mph pitch being even slower relative to a 100mph than indicated here. But could you possibly alter the animation to include the most efficient arch for each ball speed?

i can tell just from watching that anything after the 70mph i'm completely cooked 😅

In little league, the 70mph batting cages were scary. Couldn’t imagine 100mph.

The mixamo pitch animation is so goofy😭 like that guy would be throwing 60mph at best with that form

why is this always on my FYP

Woulda be nice if the arch of the pitches changed

This beat goes hard

It'd be different if it was always a fastball. Imagine facing someone like Andrew Miller who threw upper 90s fastball and alternated that with one of the nastiest sliders you'll ever see.

ball

In little league the mound is 30% closer so a 60mph fastball feels like a 90 mph fastball in the big leagues as far as reaction time

Thanks, now could you make us a game with that simulation please?

As someone who has seen 70 from 60 foot mounds this is very inaccurate as that 70was way slower

Maybe there’s a delay but I feel like it’s a little slow

as a baseball player this looks so much slower than it does when ur in the box

Makes it quite obvious how Nolan ryan got so many strike outs lol

The more pitches you face in life, the easier it becomes and when a hitter is on a tear; the ball becomes fatter and appears slows down.

I thought this was gonna be about what a dead ball looks like @ each of those different speeds.

Why the batter moving like a mortal Kombat character😂

Hey, that was great! This shows a “fastball” but if you want to do a 2.0, you should show a couple of other pitches like curve and sinker. Also, you might want to think about collaborating with some baseball commentators like Jomboy and your idea could really take off! I think you’re on to something here. Thank you for this video.

8th grade: max velo 70mph FROSH: max velo 76 mph Sophomore: max velo 80 mph Junior: max velo 83mph Senior: max velo 85 mph

The most difficult thing to do in all of sports once the pitch runs from 90mph to 100mph.

Repent and trust in Jesus you will be saved

Fastest I ever hit against was 75 in a batting cage. I have no fucking clue how people hit faster I was behind on every single one

Gotta try for the Bonneville 200mph club.

Kinda like a hockey goalie, almost no time to react with your natural reflexes, it's anticipation, reading, bit of luck even though i dont believe in luck

The Yankees need to sign him.

I enjoyed that way to much. 😂

So you basically have to swing as soon as the ball is released.

you can kinda see why 70 mph is the bottom range for pitchers

Play it at 2x speed for realistic

Deion Sanders said it best, there's a reason why baseball players get paid hundreds of millions of dollars to hit a ball 1 out of 3 times...

Chapman is crazy

What about Arolis Chapmans’ 105 mph fastball?

I’m 5 and I throw 95 mph curves easy.

Could incorporate gravity on the ball

There seem not be considered the air resistance at all.

I’ve already won the triple crown twice in 2 seasons playing the show24. I’d easily hit those 90+mph pitches. I just can’t shower and poop with men

This feels slowed

I think I top out at around 80ish Edit: I mean hitting not pitching sorry

Yes, but what about a -100MPH?

Can we get a batting view

People who have topped out at 120 👇

After 70mph it’s not fun anymore, it’s a rewarding challenge for sure but it’s not fun.

Nice graphics

I’ve taken upper 90s pitches. I couldn’t even see the damn ball. Just hear it hit the mitt 😮

so gravity doesnt exist?

BaseWars for old Nintendo

Now try to hit a breaking ball expecting a fast ball

I top out around 112mph. Straight gas 🔥🔥🔥

I could kick a major league soccer ball, but I could never hit a major league pitcher. ez sport

My top pitch is like 74

All looked the smae

I'm 17 and i top 66, do you guys think i can pitch if i learn a changeup?

Do aroldis chapman 105.8 pitch

you should start from 10 mph lol

直線軌道でボールが向かってきたら80mphでも打つのは難しいで😅

I am twelve and I top out at 68

11 throwing 60s mid 60s

U don’t pick the ball up AFTER release lol

I top out at around 107

Um... Okay

These all look easy to hit.

I top out at like 62 mph but I'm 10

this is hella interesting!!

55 is my max

My top is around 50 💀💀💀

I have reached high 60s maybe 70

Look pretty much the same.

Around 50 and 60

I tip at 50-60

I’m mid to late 60s

Soccer is harder. (I have an extra chromosome)

Mt pitch is like 80

Avg 63 mph top 67 mph

83

57 i top at

Bro what😂 80 is like 60

Mines like 52

I can throw 56 as 12 year old

I throw about 80 mph

That is not 80

100th like

60 and I'm in 10u
