Regan survives super fastballs from Falcons' pitcher

Voice of the Kelowna Rockets Regan Bartel, stepped in behind the plate against pure heat – and lived to tell the tale.

The Kelowna Falcons brought in Carson Kimball, a Texas pitcher who can deliver fastballs, reportedly approaching 100 miles-an-hour.*

Regan did his best to stay casual.

One blink, one pop of the glove, and a whole new respect for what ball speed feels like.

Fastballs that fast?

You don’t just catch them… you survive them!
