Velocity and Response time
Velocity and Response time

While wiffleballs can not be thrown as fast as baseballs, the shorter pitching distance makes up for it.

A wiffleball traveling at 55mph will give the same reaction time as a 80mph(.52 seconds) baseball. There have been claims of pitchs around 70mph. That would be like facing a 100mph(.41seconds) pitch from a Major Leage distance. Luckly, the bats are eaiser to swing.
