The guys of FSN Sport Science tested if you would miss a 95 MPH Fastball, when you blink. Major League outfielder Steve FINLEY, who played for the Orioles, Padres, Astros, Giants, D’backs, Dodgers and Rockies in his career, was the test subject. He and Hall of Famer Willie MAYS are the only batters in the history of the game, who had hit at least 300 homeruns, 425 doubles, 100 triples, and had stolen over 300 bases.
