Youre arguing against the laws of physics.
quote:Fine... Let's talk physics then. Deichmann can hit a baseball 110+ mph. Most guys are in the 90s. 90 mph (132 fps) to 110 mph (161 fps) in 60 ft is a difference of 80 milliseconds. A blink takes approx 300 milliseconds. Again, how many injuries does that equate to?
Would you rather get hit by a car traveling 10 mph or 30 mph?

So do I.

Thats not the point. Having the ball come off the bat at a slower speed lessens the chance of injury. Which ball does more damage if they hit the same exact spot and at the same trajectory? A ball traveling 120 mph or a ball traveling 90 mph?
Who knows how many injuries it saved, but a remedial knowledge of physics tells you an object traveling at a higher speed carries more kinetic energy and can cause more damage.
