Default Re: gretzky takes on posada

You could increase scoring by shooting high to the blocker side. It will take the goalie more than 30 minutes of practice to break his instinct to try to reach over with his glove hand instead of bringing up his blocker.

A hockey goalie is more about reaction time where a catcher is more about technique of blocking baseballs.

this is why i mentioned hitting in a previous post.

a 95 mph fastball takes a half of a second to reach the plate...on average the hitter needs to actually recognize the pitch (fastball/breaking ball etc), location (ball/strike) then decide if he is going to swing or not within .01-.02 seconds to give him time to start the mechanics of his swing. so if you are telling me that his reaction time will not be good then i am going to have to disagree b/c he will have unbelievable hand eye coordination and reflexes.

all in all a batter on average has 4/10ths of a second to recognize, make up his mind, and swing at a baseball.
