The Speed of Softball by ESPN Sport Science


Many people assume softball is easy, but this video used science to prove just how hard softball is. Many will be surprised after watching, softball is a hard and fast sport. Did you know that the reaction time of a 70mph college softball pitcher, like Paige McDuffee, is faster than receiving a serve from Serena Williams and faster than an 100 mph MLB pitch?
