Baseball challenge - the world fastest batting cage
Have you ever hit 240km/h (149mph) fastball ?
Most of batting cages, they have 150km/h (93mph) fastball. Although, in Fukuoka, Japan, there is a batting cage with fastball speed upto 240km/h, the world fastest. There some professional baseball players come to try to hit 240km/h fastball. It is really faster than Chapman. If you get used to hit 240km/h fastball, you would feel slow on Champman's fastball.
Here we introduce extraodinary fast batting cages in Japan.
Mihagino Batting Center 三萩野バッティングセンター (Kitakyushu, Fukuoka)
The pitching machine originally threw 150km/h fastball. They modified the pitching machine to increaing speed, initially upto 180km/h. The owner, Kazuhide Suematsu said that even 180km/h fastball, the world fastest at that moment, if you come here often and get used to it, you would hit the ball. And they keep modifying to increase the speed. Current maximum speed is upto 252km/h as of today, January 10th, 2021. Adjustment needed for every pitch to avoid hit by pitch. And it may not available by weather condition, etc. So that, please check their schedule and availability.
