Five seconds is a very long time.
The PU started to step and look away as the catcher was releasing the ball. It skipped past the pitcher and rolled to the second baseman, who was moving in for the back-up. The guy started to get back to the plate and was startled and out of position and blew the call.
If a runner took five seconds to run 80 feet, that would make him slower than ... me, for instance. This guy was a rabbit.
