A 95 mile per hour fastball is an “ephemeral” sight to a batter in the major leagues. As it approaches the plate, he has a fraction of a second to decide whether to swing at it or watch it go by, disappearing into the catcher’s glove.
In the shot above, the batter was “caught looking” as they say, for strike three. Have a seat on the bench young man, you’re out! The ball was there and gone in the blink of an eye.

Hmmm, 12 weeks of baseball. You know you’re tapping into my competitive side with this dare Tina…lol. Since baseball season is right around the corner, I’ll be in a baseball frame of mind so I think I can make that happen…you’re on!
