Jake Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Also batted balls don't bounce off those screens like that Link to comment
Glad2BeBamf Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I play baseball and I'm decent but damn that is some consistent hitting right there. Link to comment
Hess Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Ooooh no waayyy double baseballs all the way!Looks fake to me as well, the ball hits the same spot of the screen each time. Link to comment
Pink Plow Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 poor stance, obviously looks fake Link to comment

So what part gave it away to you?He pops the ball up every single time except onceAlso batted balls don't bounce off those screens like thatThat and that, for starters. It is physically impossible to be that precise with a baseball, and even if you were, the screens aren't perfect. Regardless, the ball flights just aren't natural. It's frozen rope after frozen rope from screen to screen, somehow losing no energy over the several seconds that it's flying around, and then the screen that sends it back to him somehow puts some wicked 12 to 6 spin on the ball. He hits the bottom quarter of the ball every time (sometimes looking like he actually missed it) yet hits yet another frozen rope in the exact same spot. Considering his stance in some of those hits, he would have been lucky to have enough power to make it to the second screen, much less back to the plate. Just to put the physics of this into perspective, a professional hitter, hitting off of a tee straight into a screen standing over 2nd base might get a hittable ball to come back to him once out of every 10 tries. Maybe. Link to comment
Beeppudnolan Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 His swing really isn't as bad as it may seem, but yeah it is fake. Difficult enough to hit the screen let alone the same spot of the screen. Its cool idea though. Link to comment

Its cool idea though.He steps into the pitch, is way out on his front foot, and his load sucks. I'd say it's a pretty poor stance Link to comment
