IT TAKES A 95 M.P.H FASTBALL 4/10 OF A SECOND TO REACH HOME PLATE 105.1 PLAY-BY-PLAY AROLDIS CHAPMAN By the time the ball has travelled 12 feet, the batter has a good visual lock on the ball - and makes instant read on type of pitch - knuckle ball, fastball, curve ball, slider, changeup. This read is based on the rotation of the ball and if's velocity. 12ft 104.8 As the ball travels from 12 ft to 30 ft (a distance of 18 feet), the player must decide if the pitch is hittable or not. This decision is made in approximately .14 seconds. If deciding to swing, the batter must start his swing while the ball is approximately 25 - 30ft away from the plate. From 30 feet away, it takes the ball approximately 250 thousands of a second to reach home plate (about the limit of human reaction time) At this point, an error of a few thousandths of a second will result in a ball being foul tipped. Hitting the ball a few millimeters to low, or too high, will result in a pop up . or a ground ball тph JOEL ZUMAYA 30ft 103.4 mph Blinking is a natural and fast occurrence that varies from person to person.

The fastest pitch ever was recorded by Aroldis Chapman, playing for the Reds at the time. His pitch was recorded at 105.1 miles per hour . reaching the plate in 380 milliseconds. So, literally. blink and you'd miss Chapman's fastball. 60ft design by francesca greggs & lemonwood design. SECONDS 35 SECONDS
