Wiffle balls have holes which allow for increased movement but also increased deceleration. By the time it gets to the batter it’s less. Also swinging a wiffle ball bat is 10x easier and lighter than a baseball bat allowing for quicker swing speeds making it easier to make contact

[@nobodyasked8193]

Wiffle ball slows down like crazy tho

[@greencat1849]

Yes, but they are also thrown faster initially (bc they are lighter)...so it kinda evens itself put at this distance as seen in the time it takes to hit the board demonstration.

[@granthensley8656]

2 things 1. The bar is far lighter allowing for adjustments and faster swinging. 2. The ball slows down way faster than you thing it’s peak velocity is 95 mph yet it will be hit when it is around 70-80

[@gradyjones7017]

A wiffleball would definitely lose a ton of velocity by the time it gets to the plate, unlike a baseball, so it’s probably not traveling 95 mph the entire time

[@PhoneIsSoHard]

still insane

[@Pedgem]

Also you can get more bat speed/acceleration with a wiffle ball bat. You can start your swing much later.

[@Kockodile]

It’s peak velocity is 95. As soon as it comes out the pitchers hand it starts losing velocity way quicker than a baseball would.

[@tim8801]

Yes but it still gets to the plate very fast and still faster then mlb fast balls as seen in the video.

[@mitchelltear]

Not true. The average velocity is 95

[@MexicanMaestro10]

​@@mitchelltear Listen, I'm not saying it's easy to hit those pitches, but 95mph is not the average velocity. If the ball travels 45 feet in 0.38s, that would be 118.42 ft/s or 80.74mph over the duration of the pitch. Anything measured in the 90's has to be peak velo!

[@AlphaAchilles]

It’s really not. The wiffle balls peak velocity is 95 but that’s as soon as it leaves the hand. After it’s released it losing speed almost immediately. The only reason the time to catcher is less is because they stand closer.

[@clementpeloquin1131]

[@obamna2570]

Yea but you can see that the whiffle ball pitch loses a lot of velocity between the mound and the plate, so there is actually more time to hit than u might think, assuming velocity for whiffle ball is measured the same as in baseball

[@jaboistabby]

The catchers mitt is usually behind the plate meaning the time the baseball crosses the plate it would be less or equal to the .38 of the waffle ball.

[@jaboistabby]

As a catcher I would know, some like to stick it a little behind the plate for better framing. So probably a little less than .38

[@ryan.8783]

Yeah so they’re pretty much equivalent based on when they cross the plate.

There is a throwing speed max of 95 you can’t go any faster it’s in the rules

[@landonallen9618]

You also have to take into consideration that a wiggle ball bat weighs significantly less than a baseball bat, therefore the hitter for baseball actually has less time to determine if they want to swing at the pitch because they have to get the bat going. Not saying wiffleball is easy, it is far from it, I’m just saying it’s not as difficult as baseball is.

This is all true, but you also gotta take into consideration that the bat weighs about 2 ouches. This makes the time to do a swing very slow. I’m not saying hitting is easy. It is far from it, but it’s not unhittable. Although this is shown in wiggle ball.

Reaction time is like that but the ball is still only moving 95

[@papillonvu]

Uh yeah, but MLB bats weigh about 40 ounces, whereas whiffle ball bats weigh less than 10 ounces. So let’s not forget the huge boost in reaction time and bat speed to counter the shorter distance!! Second, a wiffle ball, because of its weight and holes, will decelerate about 8x faster than a baseball. By the time it travels the 45 ft to the batter, it will have lost ~45% of its velocity. So that theoretical “127 mph” pitch, would reach the batter at a theoretical “70 mph” instead. By comparison, a baseball would lose about 10% of its velocity over 60ft, so that “95 mph” fastball would reach the batter at ~85 mph, significantly faster than the perceived 70 mph of the wiffle ball.

[@ddk3677]

My baseball coach once explained “would you rather hit a 200mph ball from the outfield or soft toss from 3 feet away” time it takes to reach the plate is not the same as velocity

Thank you, somebody else with sense. Reaction time is much less a factor than the total time window available to hit the ball, in which velocity is the only factor

The speed of a fast wiffle ball is on average about 45 mph. You can’t compare how fast a wiffle ball reaches the plate to mlb. One’s 35 feet the other is 60…

[@CYMotorsport]

Buddy wiffle bats vs wooden bats… you forget? lol you can see the ball exponentially longer . And peak velocity is deflating constantly in a wiffle ball. Baseballs do not slow down as they get to you

[@toxicDEATHwish]

Baseballs do slow down as they get to you. Even with a lighter bat the balls have much more curve and the pitcher is much closer.

[@rebirth_mishap]

This was ended on the perfect clip 😅

[@zacharylowe8083]

So that’s peak velocity which is very fast, but not the average speed like a baseball so it slows down a lot faster. Also, the bats are a LOT lighter, so it doesn’t take as long to get is swinging. This isn’t to discount the professional wiffle ball players though because the movement you can get on a wiffle ball is WAY more than you could get with a baseball. They’re just different sports with different challenges.

Since you showed that its a pocket radar i can say the bat is moving 95 but you dont have the radar in the right place to pick up ball speed, it has to be in front behind or directly next to the object being radared with nothing moving in between the radar and object

[@bmcrider34]

Here’s the difference you don’t account for and it’s the same difference that softball players apparently can’t understand. Batspeed to ball ratio. Pro hitters batspeed is 80 mph to an average 93.8 mph fastball. The average college softball hitter is swinging 70ish mph. A 70 mph softball pitch is considered gas. I am guessing a bit here but…it seems batspeed in whiffle ball is comparable to ball speed. I am not making this argument to say either whiffle or softball are easy sports. Hitting is considered the single hardest thing to do amongst any sport. My point is people really don’t understand what facing 94 plus with nearly a 3 pound stick you have to swing is like.
