Poker vlogger Brad Owen is 34 years old, and used to play little league baseball.

Poker photographer Hayley Hotchstelter is 32, and used to be a girls softball pitcher in either high school or college. She was apparently pretty good at the time, but hasn't pitched much lately. She claims to still "lift weights" regularly, though.

Hayley has challenged Brad that she will throw him 50 consecutive pitches from 43 feet away, and that he cannot hit a single pitch over the wall, which is 215 feet away.

Apparently Matt Berkey, who is in his early 40s and works out a lot, also interjected himself into this. He went with Brad today to take some practice swings against Hayley, who was also stretching out her pitching arm and trying to get used to it again.

Given that Berkey managed one bomb off of her (despite being well over 40 and not a baseball guy), now I like Brad's chances. Prior to this practice session, I thought he was drawing kinda slim, given the 43 foot distance and the fact that most good female softball pitchers can throw 65mph. It is possible Hayley will throw faster once the competition occurs, and nobody will be able to get a solid enough hit to crank it out.

The Vegas heat might also be a factor. Hayley might get tired by the later pitches.

What do you guys think?
