Steven do you understand when the use "equivalent speeds" they are talking about reaction time of the batter? It has nothing to do with speed at all.

I happened to be watching this game when it happened. The umpire appeared to have the ball deflect off his chest protector and hit him in the throat/jaw area. It could have happened to a lot of us but this guy was on TV.
