It was approximately 0.36 seconds from bat to mitt. I used my stopwatch with the video at 0.25 speed to determine that.

Going frame-by-frame with . and , on 720p60, I counted 22 frames. 22/60=0.366... You were spot on with the stopwatch.

Great reflexes! I used to play slow pitch softball. It was a lot if fun with friends. One season I was pitcher for my team and after every pitch I'd always hold my glove out in front of me, for that exact reason. And one time a big dude hit the ball right into my glove, almost before I knew what was happening. Glad it didn't hit my face!

The decision to go from blocking your body or making a play on the ball comes almost off muscle memory after so many years playing the game. Even with muscle memory, those reflexes of his are amazing! That would have smashed my face ... exactly why my baseball career stopped in college.

Don't know. Saw Al Bumbry hit a liner off Juan Berenguer's head. It took several minutes for play to resume but the pitcher was okay. Probably had a bad headache for a while.

@RunForPeace-hk1cu 5 ай бұрын

If it right at the hardest part of the head, probably just a concussion But if it was in the softer spots … death is possible

@ktbeatty 5 ай бұрын

As the other comments said, it depends. My wife was an RN in the neuro ICU for years and saw seemingly minor head bumps lead to strokes and death and major head injuries need little more than stitches. It is so dependent on where in the head it’s hit, and the subsequent bleeding under the skull it causes. That ball hits his temple, he’s likely dead or TBI. Forehead? Nasty lump, lots of bleeding, and concussion, but recovers fine. Just no way to say for sure which is why head injuries are so scary.
