Cool. But when did baseballs become hollow?

If this had been done when John Belushi was still alive, we could imagine the Samurai skit ‘Samurai Strike’.

Now if he could just learn how to use a baseball bat instead (hey, it could happen) the Rangers could use a good hitter.

More of a bunt. Seems he moves the sword after it is sliced

Looks like it would have been high and inside. He should have checked his swing and taken the ball, instead, he got a foul. Strike one.

...previously made headlines when he dueled a sword-wielding robot and sliced a shrimp traveling 80 mph...

Main thing I got out of this... I'll spend the rest of the day - well, any idle time today - trying to figure out how to get a shrimp going 80mph. ;-)

I wonder how many times he got pegged before he got it right.

I thought at first that he might have just held the katana and let the ball slam into it, cutting the projectile in half. But from the video, it appears he slices in the same direction as the ball’s flight, which means that his blade must have been traveling way faster than 100 mph.

If he was 30 feet away from the launch site and the ball was moving 100 mph, he would have had about 0.2 seconds to draw his sword, aim, and slice. Considering the average human reaction time is somewhere between 0.5 and 0.75 seconds (and that’s just REACTION time), that is an incredible feat.

What could he do with a Louisville Slugger?

These kinds of things always bring up some questions. Like was it on his first try? Or was it after multiple fails? Seems like any halfway decent ballplayer could do the same thing as long as the sword was sharp enough...they do it all the time with bats.
