## Caption

Hitting a baseball is often considered the hardest skill in sports because hitters have less than half a second to recognize the pitch, decide to swing, and make solid contact.

Pitchers like Noah McLean make this even harder. His curveball spins at about 3,577 rpm, creating sharp movement that makes the ball difficult to track and hit.

Velocity is another challenge. Jacob Misiorowski can throw fastballs over 100 mph, giving hitters almost no time to react. The combination of speed and movement is why hitting a baseball is so difficult.
