速球對決

當投手站上投手丘，使盡全力投球，打擊手奮力一擊，兩人正面交鋒，成為棒球賽眾所矚目的焦點。投手板距離本壘板的距離為60 英呎6 吋(18.4 公尺)，一般而言，投手球速若超過100 MPH ( 約160 KMH)，大聯盟等級的打擊手擁有優異的動態視覺能力，必須在小於1 秒內看準球路並做出揮棒判斷，考驗著兩方超乎常人的體能及反應力。 本片則從投手與打擊手的對決講起，回溯過去光榮歷史，從棒球名人堂到現任明星球員，細數數十位優秀球員，包括華特．強森（Walter JOHNSON）、鮑伯．費勒（Bob FELLER）、諾蘭．萊恩（Nolan RYAN），以及金氏世界紀錄保持者阿羅魯迪斯·查普曼（Aroldis CHAPMAN），另外，擔任旁白的則是飾演《夢幻成真》的男星凱文·科斯納，喜愛美國棒球賽事的球迷，絕對不可錯過此豪華陣容。 The heartbeat of the game of baseball is the battle between the pitcher and the batter–one man with a ball, one with a stick. As the pitcher winds up and the batter zeroes in, both of their bodies tense up and suddenly spring into action against each other. All actions of the game arise from that confrontation, sixty feet and six inches and barely a second in the making. Hank AARON, Nolan RYAN, Bob GIBSON, and Derek JETER lead a cast of Baseball Legends, writers and scientists who explore how the magic of baseball can boil down to the 396 milliseconds it takes a 100 mph fastball to reach home plate, and they make a case for who threw the fastest pitch ever.
