Happy New Year! There's a lot more to explore here. For example, the coefficient of restitution! If you work for the MLB and would consider letting me in on some baseball science I'd be game. P.S. Besides the obvious answer of Cal Ripken Jr., who was your favorite baseball player as a kid? Also, thank you to everyone who supports Smarter Every Day on Patreon. I really appreciate it. www.patreon.com/smartereveryday

13:10 I like to imagine the machine didn’t break it just celebrated and tossed its bat after seeing it just hit a homer
-
Stands behind wood on day 1, stands behind steel on day 2. Well that lives up to the name. SmarterEveryDay
-
10:48 you know its fast when reality activates slow mo effect
-
When he slowly ducks down like ten seconds after the bat has passed him is one of the funniest moments in YouTube. 7:41
-
-did I search for this? -no -did I watch it till the end? -yes
-
"Guys let's play some baseball" "Yea!" Builds a helicopter
-
13:10 what my teammate swears he would’ve done if he didn’t get under it
-
I'm always like "stop being so careful, man! Have some guts and go crazy" on his experiments. But this one is the first time I was like "slow down man, you can really mess up this time!" Awesome
-
100% the most terrifying thing you've ever built
-
This is legit one of the scariest things I’ve seen Destin do. I’m glad he upgraded the pitcher’s protection!
-
9:55 Thank you for providing slow motion footage that actually lets you watch frame by frame at 1080p60. Most slow motion on youtube can only be played at 30 fps or less.
-
I'm not gonna lie... those bats spinning had me ducking at home watching on the PC! hahaha
-
13:37 it looks like the ball hit the skybox
-
"Go seventy-five percent!" "Seventy-five?" "Nah, just do it, man! Go all the way!" That is the correct response.
-
I'm way to late commenting on this video but just going through some older video's I haven't watched. Great content and your excitement for what you do is great. Also, Skunk Works is an AMAZING book, highly recommend for anyone.

The Aussies on “How Ridiculous” hit a base ball with a “Bat-Copter” 826ft!
-
These dudes are the most “dads” I’ve ever seen lol
-
I was there and I still couldn't wait to watch the results and hear that amazing sound again. This was just so awesome!

THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS VIDEO!!! I loved the video and played baseball as a kid in the 70's. I also served 28 years in the US Air Force and had SAP access to the SR-71 program in the 80's before it was decommissioned in the early 90's.
