lol hitting a 95mph fastball is nothing like chess my friend, there is no thinking, it's all instinct and reaction. There's the fear of knowing all it takes is the pitch to be 3 feet off for you to get hit in the face but knowing you will never get a hit if you're thinking about that. So you have to just try to rid yourself of all fear and if the ball starts moving in the right direction you unload. It's very difficult to hit a 95 mph fastball with a powerful swing if you know it's coming but add in the fact that it could be a slider, change, curve and it makes the hitter's job near impossible for anyone but the very best in the world.

Hitting 95mph fastball is something you cannot describe with any type of justice, you just have to experience it and the current baseball camera angle does it no justice, but VR has the opportunity to do a 95 mph fastball justice. You act like the hitter and batter are playing chess up there but there's very little mind games that can be played from the hitter's side. Sure, you can go up there taking a strike, etc, but ultimately you go up there looking to hit a ball. It's nothing like chess.
