    Really? That's harder than it looks? It looks so easy -- just hit a baseball in the exact same spot hundreds of times in a row, and then double it. Piece of cake.

    The net at 3rd base looks like it's positioned at too steep an angle to even hit it.

    It looks real. i can see the one on the first base side move when the ball hits it.

    Not saying it's not real, just saying the 3rd base net has about a 5-inch window to hit because of the angle they have it turned to. It would be a real trick for anybody to hit a net face-on from 20 ft one out of three, much less what he's doing.

    Its so incredible i question if its real. But I've looked at it several times and it seems authentic. The nets move and react when the ball hits them. The only thing that looks a little odd is at the very end when he stops I don't see where the baseballs go. But I assume they careen off to the sides missing the nets.
