Watch a Samurai Slice a 100-Mile-Per-Hour Fastball in Half
They say hitting a baseball is one of the hardest thing in sports. This may be one of the few things that's actually harder.
This is Isao Machii, a swordsman whose talent extends to the sporting world. Machii entered a batting cage where he managed to slice in half a fastball coming his way at 100 miles per. It's impressive. With ability like this, you have to wonder why some major league team hasn't signed him to a nine-figure contract yet.
Even more amazing? Look how close Machii stands to the hole where the ball comes out, proving just how exceptional his reflexes are.
This guy's hand-eye coordination is simply off the charts.
