Can you hit a major league fastball?
I hit it twice. looks like you need a reaction time of better than .025 seconds to hit it. Don't blink and be ready because it's not something you can time up. You really have to react.
Fastball
Enjoy.
P.S. If you have to install shockwave like I did. Make sure you uncheck the installation of the yahoo toolbar.

Actually a 90 mph fastball gives you .4-.5 seconds to react from 60 feet 6 inches.

The program says a 90 mph fastabll takes .5 seconds to react. The program just tests your personal reaction time. The program also states that some have a reaction time of .2 seconds. fastest I acheived was .021something.

I had a bunch of base hits and one home run (.19 sec or something)
I thought hitting a fastball was the hardest thing in sports. Guess not.

My average reaction time was .19, but I guarantee I couldn't hit a HS fastball.
