If you believe that, you need remedial math.
First of all, balls do not have reaction time, batter's do. But, go ahead, Mr. Wizard, educate this poor soul on how a ball traveling at 65 MPH through the strike zone offers a batter the same time to react as does a ball traveling 95 mph.
Of course, what you are referring to is the line you hear on TV about the amount of time the ball takes from the pitcher's hand to the plate. But this is not the "reaction time."
You may be a wonderful third year LL umpire. But with your current mindset, that's exactly where you will be three years hence.
