Too fast for swing?

Question

How fast would a baseball need to travel in order to avoid being hit by an average mlb player swinging at it?

Answer 1

10000000000000000000 mph

Answer 2

You need more than a fastball to get MLB, or even college players to swing and miss. If you only throw hard (lets say for the h**l of it that 105 mph is max) then players will adapt and be able to put it in play with ease.

Answer 3

I do not believe that the ball can be physically pitched fast enough not to be hit by a bat, either through skill or luck.

Answer 4

Well it depends what kinda of baseball players. Mostly every MLB position player can make some sort of contact on a 100 mph fastball. Considere this it takes about 400 miliseconds for a 90 mph to reach the plate. 200 miliseconds for 95 mph fastball. So im guessing about 100 milliseconds for 100. So my guess would be at least about 120-150. for an mlber. But youd probably be surprised what the human people can actually do.
