WATCH: Here's What 98 MPH Up and In From Jack Leiter Looks Like

Yeah, it's gonna be a no from me, dawg.

We need videos like this every once in a while to appreciate how truly insane it is that anyone ever hits a baseball. This is a college pitcher by the way. Sure, he's weeks away from being a top five pick, but Jack Leiter has yet to even throw a pitch in the minors and already has terrifying stuff.

The frame-by-frame of this video is unbelievable. The ball is two-thirds of the way to home plate and this poor hitter's head is still directly in the line of fire. I have no idea how he got out of the way in time.

And here's what someone whose life just flashed before his eyes looks like:

And you know what Leiter's going to do after he buzzes the tower with 98 MPH? Drop a hook in there that you could hang a worm on and make your knees give out in the box. This kid is just unfair.

So next time your dumbass friend says some nonsense like, "I could probably put one in play off somebody throwing 95 as long as I got started fast enough and knew it was coming," show him this video. No you couldn't, Andrew.
