| So there's a pitching machine in Japan that pitches 200 KM/HR (125 MPH). It's the fastest in the world: Where Have You Gone Mark Wohlers?Some say Mark Wohlers holds the record with a 103 MPH pitch during spring training in 1995. Some would say Joel Zumaya broke the record with a 104 MPH pitch in 2006. Others, including this piece by Baseball Almanac say Wholers and Zumaya are tied. The article also suggests Bob Feller might have beaten both at a state fair with a 107.9 MPH pitch. Regardless if you head over to Japan right now you can test your mettle in a batting cage that tosses the pill at a cool 125 MPH (200KMPH). The cage is called the Super Monster Machine and it’s the fastest artificial pitching device in the world. You can find it at the Mihagino Batting Center in Kitakyushu. | |

| Actually, I could probably hit one....
I'd swing and be late - luckily the machine is rapid fire (I hope). I wouldn't hit the ball I wanted to hit, but rather the third ball pitched. | |

| If this thread was titled "hitting a 50 MPH fastball", Brandon might get a fair shot!!
