    Hell, the first time I threw a wiffle, I couldn't even guess the direction it was going to go.
    Any kid with some weekend practice can throw a good wiffle, because the balls are made with holes and weigh a fraction of a baseball. Wiffles are designed to pick up turbulence and speed, unlike a baseball.

    They're not talking about the speed as such, but how much time the batter has to react. They stand closer in wiffle ball, so it's like trying to react to a faster ball from further away.

    @ThexPandaxManiac 12 років тому

    No, a 75mph wiffle at 42 feet = A 105 mph pitch from 60 feet 6 inches. Basic math shows that from a closer distance a slower pitch still feels as fast as a 105 mph baseball fastball.

    The distance from pitcher to batter is much less for wiffle, that alone makes it harder to get a read on a pitch. And actually, wiffle can be thrown faster than a baseball (from what I've experienced). I can only barely hit 70 on my radar gun with a 5oz baseball, but reached 79 with the wiffle.

    The producers obviously got the pitcher to act all cocky, it's what they do on most reality-style shows.

I mean I get it that they are trying to 'make it cooler' and this was uploaded in 2009, but the video woulda been interesting enough without all the cringey shit.

    How about this idea? Close up some of the slits in the wiffle ball so it doesn't break (curve) as much, thus making the game more interesting and not giving such an advantage to the pitcher. Perhaps make it so it breaks 2 feet max, not 4.

    Loney's got the ability to put up better numbers than he's shown since coming into the majors. If only he'd stop messing around with his swing and trust his hands more. Guy's a natural hitter and actually does have enough power to hit more than 20 HRs if he wanted to. Maybe he should spend some quality time dissecting footage of Garret Anderson in his prime. That's who he reminds me of the most, come to think of it...
