There’s throw-the-ball-over-the-plate accuracy, and then there’s throw-the-ball-through-a-cylindrical-object-that’s-falling-50-feet-away accuracy. Ryan Mason has the second one.

We have questions:
– How many tries did this take?
– Where is this cylindrical object falling from?
– Why do they just happen to have a perfectly cylindrical object that fits the size of a baseball available? (It’s probably a baseball donut weight, although it almost looks too big.)
– Did they just happen to be filming this? Did they know he’d make it?
– When is Ryan Mason going to put aside these baseball frivolities and accept his true calling as a superhero saving lives with incredible, well-placed baseball throws somewhere?
– Is it tough for Mason to act like a normal person and do normal things like grocery shopping or going to the movies when he knows he has alien abilities like that? Do people recognize him and gawk?
– Was the baseball OK with this? Throwing him through a small, dark, confined space, even if it only last half a second, would be a rude thing to do if the baseball had claustrophobia.
Just in case you don’t believe, here’s a slowed-down version.
