Cyclops has superhuman understanding of physics, though, as a product of figuring out how to bounce his eye beams.

So, in theory, he could use his power to further accelerate the ball toward the plate after he lets it go? Dude is throwing nothing but gas all night.

Optic blast: Cyclops possesses the mutant ability to project a powerful beam of concussive, ruby-colored force from his eyes. Cyclops' powers come from ambient energies, such as solar radiation, photons, and cosmic rays, absorbed and metabolized by his body into concussive blasts that are released from his eyes.

Any heat produced is incidental from friction and not from the beam itself

If we go with the Official Handbook explanation, Cyclops is teleporting energy from the Punch Dimension through his eyes, which someone wrote down in a somewhat serious publication.

Wolverine as C maybe? He's not getting bowled over on a play at the plate thanks to his skeleton.

If you can find it, about a decade ago someone put JL, JSA, Avengers, and X-Men into baseball manager and had them play a full season Sadly it seems to have been eaten by the internet

lmao Joe Mad understood that, if you're gonna do that, you really gotta sell it by coolmaxing so hard the viewer forgets about it

A splash page from Uncanny X-Men #325 featuring Cyclops in civilian clothes preparing to pitch from a baseball mound, also one other detail to provide here, he looks hard as fuck
