Sean O Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Well, despite having no baseball skill, at least my reaction time is strong. I'm hitting .700 after 10 trials. Fun little thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsa613 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 fastest time .1667 seconds. I can do it 90% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padres67 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I actually faced 90 mile per hour pitching in college ball-I rarely hit it. I did on a few occasions get a few hits-but rarely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldGlove Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 I actually faced 90 mile per hour pitching in college ball-I rarely hit it. I did on a few occasions get a few hits-but rarely. Well, I guess couldn't hit a real 90 MPH fastball either. And this "mini game" only tests, if you could react in time, which doesn't mean you'd gt a hit, or make contact with the ball at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padres67 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Obviously tapping a key pad is easier to do than moving a bat and making contact with a ball at 90mph-it is very tough-I know I faced it . I tried the game and it was very easy in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJEagles Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I hit fastest at .16668. Hit about 60-70 %. Said I got a homerun on that pitch though...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I did it about 6 times.. 3 basehits, 1 homer and the other 2 I swung too early and missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahjazzno12fan Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I have never had a problem hitting a 90 mph fastball. I have hit even faster ones. I had trouble hitting a change or a curve though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutushayesosu Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I faced Chad Billingsley when he played for Defiance in High School. Good Lord. I also faced some guy from Danville, VA that threw 95 (played at Danville Braves stadium and they had gun working) Anyways I either walked or k'd on Chad and I got around on the other guy but got jammed and had a swollen hand for 2 weeks. Right where the hand makes a v shape between the thumb and pointer finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 i'm the fastest man alive!! don't know why i clicked when i did - farted or something - but i thought getting 0.000 was pretty funny. wouldn't that be a swing and a miss though since technically i reacted 0.2 seconds before the ball got there?

michaeljjt Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Lol the first time I did it, the animation never started...so I sat there an waited. When I finally clicked something, it said my swing time was 7.3 seconds. Luckily the next time it corrected itself, so I didnt feel like I had the reaction time of a 90 year old :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliesphan18 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Wow - I have to try this - in real life I know I hit about an eighty five mile perhour one. - looks cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushywhacker Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Funny, I never thought 90 was that big a deal. I routinely faced 90-93 in college as at least 1 stud pitcher was on each team in the conference. I faced Kirk Dressendorfer (From UT) throwing 96 (in 1990) and got a hit off him by total accident...I was just trying to get out of the way. I could see the ball leave his hand...then I saw it cross the plate. Between there, I never saw it. 3 times I was up there and it was the same every time. I guess my eyes just topped out at 93. I like the lil game though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Fun, but wouldn't hitting of a real pitcher throwing 90 be easier, in the sense that you can see his wind up, and in this you can't. With the wind up you have a better sense of when the ball is going to start moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
