You can hit a 90 mph fastball?  Hmm.  I’d like to get you in a batting cage and verify that.
It was last summer.

Whose going to throw it to him?

So you stuck the bat out straight and waited - "BRILLIANT"

You have to start your swinging motion about when the ball comes out. I probably connect with 15% or so. Then I go back to the slower cage. Heh. 

But, 15% is more than 0%, so I'll take it.

yup, like me stating that I hit my driver 280

it's maybe 15% of the time, but it's 100% of the time when I'm downhill and down wind!

If a 90 mph fastball is in the same place every time, you can time it up.  With a live pitcher, that isn't happening, and at that speed it's bound to have some movement.

Our coach was Kris Medlen, he can still bring it.  Nice guy.  When you play the pros the last day, your pitching coach throws against you.  Guys like Steve Avery don't have an arm left so it's not hard.  I had Marvin Freeman one year and he could get it up there sidearm at about 85.  Nobody hit that.

I hit off Pete Smith one year and drilled a couple foul so he got nasty and brought a slider, and then laughed at me.  Pete is a good guy, they all are.  His first pitch was on the inner half and I like'em inside, I bat left handed, and I turned on it but it went foul.  

Fantasy Camp is a real highlight for me, cancelled this year.  Major bummer.

I used to be better before the spinal fusion. Can't turn like I used to. Maybe that will be good for golf, if I take that plunge.
