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.
