Does he make this up?
"A good major league batter can distinguish the difference between these angles."
He's talking about 2.3 and 2.4 degrees of seperation. The difference in a tenth of a degree at such a relatively LOW angle is almost impossible to recognize. A critical flicker-fusion frequency validates my opinion. Don't believe me? Watch the second hand on a clock. It moves. Watch the minute hand on a clock. It appears to move over time. Watch the hour hand on a clock. It doesn't appear to move at all. One can only sense the change by keeping track over time of the old vs. new location in between the old vs new hour.
Hey that also validates my RISING fastball theory. The difference in a tenth of a degree at such a relatively LOW angle is almost impossible to recognize. One can only sense the change by keeping track of the old vs. new pitch location between the old 2-seam straight pitch vs new 4-seam RISING pitch. The difference on location as sworn by pitcher, catcher, batter and umpire describes the LIFT of a RISING fastball.
AND this my friends has already been experimentally validated throughout the last 100 years of baseball.
