Fans can try their best to hit 95+ mph fastballs from Randy Johnson and Roger Clemens, take a swing at the amazing control displayed by Curt Schilling and Mike Mussina and try to catch up with Mariano Rivera’s high heat. Fans can directly compete against these pitchers and others while playing "Hit the Pros" and then compare their results to other players around the globe with the dynamic point system and leaderboard.
