Isao Machii is a Japanese master swordsman and often referred to as a modern day samurai.
In the past, Machii has been filmed slicing BB gun pellets fired toward him, so naturally, taking the top off of an oncoming fastball was a suitable next goal.
In the video below, watch as Machii splits the fastball – coming at 100 mph – in half. Notice his sword is completely sheathed as he prepares his attempt, which is successful on the first try.

The end of the video shows the action in slow motion– the only speed most people can see the moment when the sword slices the baseball.
