This is unfair. You can’t expect a tennis serve to come across the plate. The plate is too small. The service box in tennis is 10-12 feet wide. And it’s all too artificial as the racket is hitting the ball. They should just have a tennis ball machine feed the balls.
@@Walvarezzz lmao no, tennis serves are soo much faster than the fastest pitch ever recorded. The tennis player just had to slow down a lot to aim for strikes, something you dont do in tennis.
@@johngallagher479 According to standard tennis court size, an ace down the middle is 60 feet. To the opposite side of the box would be 60 feet length plus 13.5 feet over (I'm not awake enough to do the math there). I imagine most tennis players are trained to serve the ball to land between 57 and 60 feet.
the top tennis serves were around 155-160 mph from Sam Groth/John Isner/Karlovic/Roddick. So no, it’s not possible to consistently hit that as a baseball player.
Sim and kev and of town is there the energy between all of them is something that is unmatched. They really show their love for the game. Love u sim. LIFT BIG THROW GAS HIT BOMBS
As a tennis player this is extremely difficult as the angle and distance are not what you train for in tennis. Still looks like fun and the slice serves work well here!
A tennis court is 78 ft and when a player is returning a serve they generally stand several feet behind the baseline. So the serve is coming at them from 85+feet. While the initial serve can be 140+, it has to bounce in the service area so the player returning serve is hitting a ball traveling slower than that. While both sports are both about hitting moving balls, they are apples and oranges.....equally difficult for a variety of reasons. Kudos to this tennis player for serving up strikes and to the catcher! Wow!
hitting a baseball is definitely harder than returning a serve, but you're forgetting about larger angles for tennis. If my opponent is standing really far back i can hit an outwide serve. On top of that you have to remember the stat that it's statistically harder to break serve at wimbledon than it is to hit a hr in the MLB
Funny thing is..analytically wise..this helps both the hitter and the "pitcher" (tennis player) develop ridiculous eye to ball movement coordination. In lamence terms,..everybody gets better in their particular discipline of sport. Fun shit.
not really for the tennis player, that's not the service motion and the net is a lot further away. He'd get really really good at this particular...game but not at serving in general.
Forget velocity, the arm angle of those tennis serves are literally unheard of. Forget Verlander or Bautista, that’s gotta be at least 8 feet, and from that steep downward angle? No chance.
A tennis racket is much wider and provides a lot more room for error. A tennis player also sitting much further back, and the ball does slow down a bit after hitting the ground. That doesn't mean hitting a fast serve is easy, but it's not a great comparison to what they're doing here.
You guys should’ve given the tennis guy more balls than just 4. It’s gotta be crazy hard to hit strikes by serving like that. He should’ve been allowed at least 6 balls each batter or something to make it fair.
@@brookscookiepremium 130 is the speed of the ball exactly when it hits the racquet. As soon as it does it starts slowing down due to air resistance and a whole bunch of other factors. Same thing happens when you pitch a baseball - a ball thrown coming out of your hand at 100 mph is going 93 by the time it reaches the plate. Tennis ball slows down way, way more because it encounters so much drag at such a high speed, it’s hollow and way lighter than a baseball, it has all that fuzz, etc. it’ll cross the plate faster than 100 mph but nowhere near 130 mph it was hit at. All that matters is that they can’t give a tennis player the same number of pitches to a walk because it’s way harder to “pitch” a tennis ball off a racquet with strike zone accuracy. Would have been more fair if they said 5 or 6 balls was a walk, 2 was a strikeout.
If the baseball players are using baseball bats the tennis player should have to use the baseball strike zone. Or would you rather the ball players use racquets and crush everything that gets close? The 100mph you pull out of your ass is still the absolute pinnacle of what hitters will face with a baseball bat, 2 pitch strikeouts would be ridiculously unfair for the baseball players. The hitters in this video were most definitely the ones with the disadvantage as they are facing a completely unfamiliar motion, speed, and movement. The tennis player is already used to aiming his serve and should be able to hit a strike zone with decent consistency at 60ft.@@heyyywhynot
I don't know, kind of a douchy win. They know that with a racket the accuracy of getting strikes is way low, so they did the least professional thing: trying to get walks.
Inaccurate test, he must hit it torso level after the bounce. 120-mph serve in tennis slows to 82 mph before the bounce, then to 65 mph after the bounce, and finally to 55 mph at the opponent's racket
They would do it easily. Returning a serve in tennis is far easier than hitting in baseball. You only need to look at the numbers. Both hitting and returning are expected things in their sports. You get a minimum of 3 pitches to hit in an at-bat usually more and the best players, the ones that are remembered as greats, succeed 3/10 times(that's before even taking XBH into account; if a player were to homer in 3/10 ABs for his career he'd instantly be crowned the best ever with zero contest). There is no level of tennis where you could even compete only being able to return 3/10 serves. The success rate for being able to return a serve and being able to reach base on a hit tells you everything you need to know about which one is harder. Use your head.
119 down the pipe is unreal. Imagine an actual baseball....... the seams humming..... as it blows by you ..... you literally just saw pitch do his leg kick and the fuckin balls in catch's mitt..... the snap of it hitting his glove covering the sound of his metacarpals breaking. Crazy.
The tennis balls confuse me. How they read when being hit seems random. Sometimes they go out like they did with the double and the home run and others they just die while seemingly hit well.
Tennis serves will lose about 10 to 15 mph of speed due to drag. That’s why they measure serve speed at impact. But trying to CONTACT a ball going 110 plus mph with 3 feet of movement is just ridiculous
This is unfair. You can’t expect a tennis serve to come across the plate. The plate is too small. The service box in tennis is 10-12 feet wide. And it’s all too artificial as the racket is hitting the ball. They should just have a tennis ball machine feed the balls.
Exactly. The baseball players knew it would be difficult to get the ball over the plate, so that's why they let the balls go by and got walks and that's why they won.
It shouldn't be so difficult for this guy to find the strike zone. He seems like a decent enough tennis player, but definitely got tired and lazy with his form.
No one talks about the accuracy of the tennis player. Hitting the strike zone...crazy
Uhh…. JuCo Kind mentions it immediately
Tennis pros can hit the corner of the service box nearly every serve. That’s over a net 60 feet away
Umm they actually did talk about it

@@CSDonohue11 no one listens to Sims lol
10:47 hats off to the catcher. At these speeds
No doubt! That be tough
Extremely satisfying as well
as a tennis player that used to play baseball I can confidently say that it would be impossible to hit a regular serve.
the problem is serving you're used to aiming for a pot on the ground, not a spot in the air it has to pass through.
@@Walvarezzz lmao no, tennis serves are soo much faster than the fastest pitch ever recorded. The tennis player just had to slow down a lot to aim for strikes, something you dont do in tennis.
How much farther is a serve on a tennis court compared to baseball mound ?

The serve speed slows down to about 60-70% depending on the surface when it gets to the other side of court due to the bounce.
+2 for a walk on a guy using a tennis racket feels a little steep lol
As a tennis player this is extremely difficult as the angle and distance are not what you train for in tennis. Still looks like fun and the slice serves work well here!
As a pitcher I want a modification to the live AB rules. If a walk = free heater, then firewood = 2x points for the pitcher. Only fair
That was a crazy catch at 115 mph. Also gotta show support for a fellow tennis player
If you’re a tennis player, he’d be tipping his pitches a bit. Based on the location of his toss you can guess the serve
always enjoy watching the momentum videos. make me wanna go play
Serious flashback to playing ball in the back yard or at recess. So fun to watch.
This was an awesome idea! That tennis player was surgical . Great video!
Would have LOVED to watch Eric at bat during this!
i think there is a reason he did not bat lol
Love that they listened to the comments and added the single point for the out
This is honestly not bad practice for both sports

Gives a new meaning to 'Base on Balls'! 6:47
Damn I ain’t ever been this early for a release 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I actually don't now nothing about baseball but still love yall's videos
kudos to the catcher, catching 124mph pitch, lol
i didn’t even think about that god damn
Thankfully it's a tennis ball lol, if it was a baseball he'd be icing it right after
Yo props to that catcher man
NGL: the precision surprised me.
It's always funny seeing them struggle
You guys should try to create a home made helmet
Cameron cannon was my coach funny seeing watching some of my fav content keep it up production team great content

7:57 Matthew and Kev hit the fist bump to high five
Thanks for the closing Eric "the GOAT" Sim!
you need to do this again but give the baseball players rackets as well
Props to the tennis player 🎾
Bro shoulda hit some kick serves for some curveball/slurve movement
Where’s the kickserves at? It would’ve been a nasty 12-6 curve
Would be near impossible to hit kick serves in the strike zone consistently
This is so epic. Hats off to the tennis bro
W outro
Wanted to see him try a kick serve tbh
Would like to see a tennis player hitting baseball pitches.
Lol the audience chairs look so comfy for absolutely no reason
Forget velocity, the arm angle of those tennis serves are literally unheard of. Forget Verlander or Bautista, that’s gotta be at least 8 feet, and from that steep downward angle? No chance.
Now imagine having to hit either front or back switching hands and having to run 5-20 feet

are you trying to say tennis is harder or something?

Making the tennis player use the same strike zone as a pitcher is a real ***** move by the hitters.
bro the dude is pitching 130 he doesn’t need more advantages

Can someone explain why the first hit was an out? Didn't the ball bounce? I am not an experienced baseball player or fan. Just trying to understand.

what is a sword ? check swing on a strike ?
It's a check swing but the hitter checks it too late so it records as a strike off a swing/miss in or out of the zone.
Shows u how fast those hitters eyes are still..
Man I'm just imagining if John Isner tried this competition with MLB hitters. Actual fear.
