Just heard an announcer state that there's a BIG difference hitting a 95 mph fastball vs a 91 mph fastball. I did the calculation & the times to the pate are 434 msec and 452 msec, respectively. Wow. That's only an 18 msec difference. Any hitters out there to comment on this?

Stop paying attention to the color announcers. Most of them talk at length ad infinitum ad nauseum to fill the "dead" air, instead of letting us actually LISTEN to the game.

No difference as far as I'm concerned—I couldn't hit either of them on the best day I ever had.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

I know what you mean, I couldn't hit the broad side of a ball with a barn!!!
Usain Bolt's are pretty damn fast balls!
At the professional level it may well make a difference, because it means hitters will have to start their swing that much sooner or be that much stronger to get the head of the bat around in time. The time difference is about a three to four percent difference, which may tip a balance.

It's probably a good thing that I never passed a batting cage when I could've tried it. I was a damn good slow-pitch softball hitter back in the day...but that was then. Now, I'd probably get hurt or at least make a damn fool of myself!
Still...the urge to try keeps popping up!
