All baseball fans need to watch this

This makes one understand how fastballs reach velocities that, outside of sheer luck, literally make them unhittable as human reaction time is surpassed. Super interesting, informative, entertaining, a must see for baseball lovers. It made me appreciate the geometry of baseball more and how difficult it is to hit major league pitching. I won't be yelling at my TV next time a batter on my team strikes out in a pivotal situation, no that's not true, I will still yell but it will be a more appreciative yell, if that makes sense
