Fastball
2016 · Movie · Not Rated · 87 min · ★ 7.2 · 82% critics
This documentary explores baseball’s long-running obsession with speed and statistics, focusing on the fastball and why it feels almost too quick to fully process. It looks at how, at the highest level, the challenge becomes less about pure skill and more about instinct and the struggle to master something nearly uncontrollable.
