Would you accept this challenge?

10 tries to hit a 100mph fastball. If you succeed, you get 50k. If you fail, you pay 5k

If you haven’t played baseball you wouldn’t understand how difficult this is.

I would probably still try anyway

I would most likely fail too. I’ve hit some around 80-85 and it was crazy hard. But maybe I’d get lucky

what is a hit? Like keep it in play? What about tips?

I'm an idiot who thinks he can do anything from a physical standpoint, so yeah I'll probably have a go.

definitely not if it was on the spot, have not trained that skill

it could happen, but it's not crazy likely, so it's not worth the risk

probably if you gave enough time to develop and test hitting skill

at that point I would just go play in the MLB lol

As long as it goes forward it counts for the challenge, even fouls. But if it tips behind you no

Would you lose all your teeth if that ball hits you in the face?

Duh. This lady from my dads work was sitting in their company seats at an mlb game and got hit by a foul ball and lost most of her front teeth. Her kid went to school with me too.

This is basically me PAYING 10 monkeys (5k in cash) to fail at baseball.

Haven't hit a pitched ball in 24 years or so, and that was pitched by some low-talent weak kid.

I hit against low 90's in HS, but that was 20 years ago. I'd have to really think about this one, but probably naw.

I only hit mid 80s but I’d try it there’s a good chance you’ll get lucky with 10 pitches

Lmao what

I hit 100mph fastballs regularly, I average at least 100mph on 8 of every 10 tries and the other 2 are 97’s 98’s anyway.

This is a really low figure to aim for.
