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?

[Mark Landson]

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.

I bat right handed

[Mark Landson]

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.

a swing

[Ryan Biggins]

is that after a swing or just a timed sprint?

[angelsbeatlesfan]

i time myself when im actually batting and swinging.

[idiotfinder911]

3.6 secs? Youd be the world faster person EVER. You are an idiot!

[idiotfinder911]

Then I will see in in this summers Olympics, cause you would be far faster than Usian Bolt. Unless you are doing what some players do and already take off running as they are swinging the bat. Or you are lying.

[idiotfinder911]

Add about a second or two and thats what you will actually run it in. If Usain Bolt started from the final swing position of these batters, he would be like 2 seconds slower in a 100m.

ya this isnt right..i play centerfield college baseball in San Diego and my fastest time home to first is 3.6 sec.

[angelsbeatlesfan]

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

[Max Lebrato]

thats a load of horseshit brah. everyone knows it.

[angelsbeatlesfan]
