I dont think this is accurate at all. Because my time from home to first is 3.7 second in 90 feet. are you telling me im faster than them?

[marklandson]

@angelsbeatlesfan Are you a right handed batter? These are times from the moment of impact on the ball. Left handed batters are going to have times a half second faster because when you swing as a right hander, your momentum is going towards third base instead of first base as a lefty.

@marklandson I bat right handed

[marklandson]

@angelsbeatlesfan Unless you are faster than McCutchen and Tabata, you don't get down to first base in 3.7 seconds from the moment of impact. That is incredibly fast. These times are from the mlb.com video at 30 frames per second. It's accurate.

@theloveofgingers lol. Like i said I dont think the video is accurate. But I really can do 3.5-4.0. on 90 feet. Even some other kids on my high school team can

@angelsbeatlesfan thats a load of horseshit brah. everyone knows it.

[angelsbeatlesfan]

@mindlessman2009 uh yeah of course

[mindlessman2009]

@angelsbeatlesfan Seems like an obvious question but, are the base paths 90 feet where you're running?

[Poopiusthewoopius]

@angelsbeatlesfan then your fast

[angelsbeatlesfan]

@Poopiusthewoopius no actually, my time was timed on contact

[Poopiusthewoopius]

@angelsbeatlesfan remember he said at contact he starts it. you prolly got that time in a straight sprint right?

[RogueGank3r]

This is from point of contact.

I've timed myself at 3.6. I'm faster than a major leaguer. boo yah.
