    ..........how about an edited version that only includes the balls that hit the net. Sorry, I just don't buy that anyone can hit as many back to back target shots.
    Upon acquiring Greg Goosen on waivers from the Dodgers, Mets Manager, Casey Stengel introduced him with "This is Greg Goosen. He's 19 years old, and in 10 years he's got a chance to be 29 ".

    Look at his back foot. Moves to a different place every time. It's not the same swing. I guess they could have filmed a few "hits" from a pitching machine, repeated them randomly and super-imposed the two actors, but I don't know.

    I think this is legit. I don't see any evidence of a 'jump cut' and there's too much movement to fake that without a huge budget. ...several balls in the air, two guys constantly moving around. I think it's real.

    No, it proves that practice makes perfect. I still think it's real. Watch the bounce-back on the right move. It moves different when the ball hits it, so it could not be a repeat of the same hit. What I wonder is why he practiced hitting the ball directly at the shortstop. Michael Young could catch that. LOL.

    Yeah, Bruce Lee was for real, man. That guy could do anything. Imagine if he played baseball. It's sad that he died so early. I was just finding out who he was when he passed away.

    True. I'm teaching myself how to edit video and I don't see how anyone can do that. I'm just learning, though I thought maybe they used a pitching machine then super-imposed the people in front, but where's the pitching machine's shadow? The shadows prove it's real, I think. The batter's shadow goes way out past where the ball's shadow is coming in from second base. You'd not only have to fake the bodies, but the shadows, too. Impossible! Anyway, it's more fun if you believe it's legit. LOL. I mean, look at that guy. He's like Bruce Lee, practically!

    But what made the bounce-backs move? Something with weight pushed them, right?
