I can see it becoming more than a theoretical exercise - when Carney speaks the truth during a press conference...

I stumbled across the What If site a while back.
Very cool mental jumping jacks.

Pitch #2 should be a changeup going 70% the speed of light. The batter would never be able to hold up after he gets a look at that first heater. Pitch #3 should just be a 62mph knuckleball. Batter strikes out on three pitches, swinging at the last one 12,000 times before it gets to the plate.

Does the infield fly rule still apply?

I believe the batter, catcher and umpire would be instantaneously turned into a radioactive puddle of goo so a pinch hitter (from another state) would be awarded first. But even before that occurs I believe the game would be postponed on account of nuclear winter in the immediate area of the game.

So is it a strike or not?

Silly premises lead to silly conclusions. Nothing new in that.

Interesting website. I’ve been aware of the XKCD cartoons, but not this.

In the novel, "The Killing Star" by Charles Pellegrino, we're attacked by aliens whose opening salvo is 1,000 rocks massing a ton each that strike the Earth at 90% of the speed of light.
We lose.

At least the batter won’t see what’s coming.
