Anyways we had it set at 60 mph and OMFG man, I batted maybe 5% for the first 10-15 minutes, ended up getting a piece of about 1/4 of them at roughly 70 mph with maybe 1/10 of them going anywhere..

I suck ass at baseball but either Mako has a hell of a point or I REALLY need to hit the cages more often lol
I use to play AAA ball when I was younger and never did well hitting in the cage. Main reason I figure being that it is tough to judge when the ball is going to be released. Where with a human pitching fastballs to you, you have that 1-2 seconds before the release and can judge better.

Now if you went a lot to the cage that would of course change and would almost become automatic.
