Samurai slices 100 mph baseball in two halfs
Isao Machi holds a number of world records and it is not hard to see why after watching the video.
In fact, so quick is the fastball fired out and Machi’s reaction that we had to slow it down – the below video is the live version and if you blink you will literally miss it.

9,22 m at 161km/h thats 206ms if I calculated correct. So basically it's like trying to click a stop watch in the first fifth of the second while you see it running. With some training thats not too hard.
The difficulty is to anticipate how much time the drawing of the sword will take. But thats a matter of training, too. As long as the shot is fired exactly the same every single time I would guess thats learnable without too much effort, but it looks like you are a superninja.

#2 close enough, 210ms.
That's travel time to 9.22m, we don't know if that was hit point where sword met a ball or his standing position? Consider he had to pull his sword (ahead of time) and hit it. How much time it takes to pull a sword and swing ? Subtract that time from 0.2s and you will get close to what his true reaction time was.

#1 It was 9.22 meters distance not 20 meters so that reaction was very impressive. The thing that looks weird to me is the inside of that ball. Baseballs have a leather outer skin but then it is all specially wound yarn all the way down to the little center ball called the pill which is made of rubber and cork and is smaller than a golfball. The innards of this ball do not look like that.

#4 I don't want to agree with you so I won't.
I'd like to see him do it with a golf ball or better still a marble or even better a ball bearing. Also if he is so confident why not have it aiming at the centre of his skull or his ballestines Nuts

#1 Why do we always have to compare to "real fight"? Sure an MMA or general Martial arts fighter might lose in a "real fight". Give him a broom stick and he would still kick 95% of internet "know it all"
Thats just a demonstration..he also split a BB pellet.
Its not always about how usefull it is in a fight..but it sure does help.

#1 what kind of fight do you expect?
clearly you need a range weapon to defeat this
all other situations would end up in less than a sec.
this is just an opening
shows you how fast you can lose your head, when you lift your chin to see samurai face.
Why do you think their culture is so polite couse the gene to stare at people, was killed in the past

I enjoy reading the comments
Everyone on top says its easy and tries to find the science behind it
Please go make videos of yourselves trying to time and slice a baseball in half and you'll get tons of attention for it
I just attempted this and ended up with lips the size of a bowl
I hit the baseball alright
WITH MY FACE
