can you hit a 96 mph fastball

[IrishofNDMan]

fastest pitcher I've ever went against threw 86, and I went 1-4 against him at the Notre Dame baseball camp. It helped that the catcher was a buddy of mine at the camp and he told me that a fastball was coming, because his curve and change was nasty and without knowing what was coming I would have been screwed. Pretty nice shot to left center.
