Since 1912, baseball has been a game obsessed with statistics and speed. Thrown at upwards of 100 miles per hour, a fastball moves too quickly for human cognition and accelerates into the realm of intuition. Fastball is a look at how the game at its highest levels of achievement transcends logic and even skill, becoming the primal struggle for man to control the uncontrollable.

Fastball es un documental que fue dirigido por Jonathan Hock (Miracles and Men, Survive and Advance y The Best That Never Was) y cuenta con testimonios de docenas de jugadores como Hank Aaron, Nolan Ryn y Derek Jeter, la producción de Thomas Tull (Batman: The Dark Knight) y recopila los mejores momentos del deporte desde la voz de Kevin Costner.
