When I adjusted the speed to about 45mph, I felt like Babe Ruth. If major league pitchers could only get up to 45mph, I'd be a Major League hitter.
What you are hitting in the batting cages at 90 are not real baseballs though, they are rubber coated.
Nevertheless it is still hard as hell.
I saw Andre Dawson work out at my local cage and he hit every single ball from the 90 MPH machine straight back up the middle with authority.
He used a 20 pound barbell plate as a batting weight to warm up.
I faced only 2 or three guys who threw in the mid 90’s when I played in amateur leagues, the impressive thing is the sound the ball makes as it splits the air on the way in, it sizzles, which is a different sound than the rubber ones make.
I had some good at bats, just dont be afraid and swing hard and early and if you make contact, the ball is going places.
Now 105 is scary, wouldn’t get up against an amateur throwing that hard.
The other thing that is surprising is that the velocity in the 90’s is a gift from God, you either have it or you don’t, I have seen guys that you would not think physically capable of throwing above 80 do it, and vice versa.
