How on Earth did this college pitcher throw a baseball through a falling, baseball-sized tube?

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.
