Lets see a ball that probably ways like half a pound so like .25kg is traveling with a downward acceleration 9.8 m/s^2 (gravity) force = mass x acceleration

2.45 Newtons of force being taken to your face, while a BP's head is like 50 grams? Traveling with an acceleration of like 2 or 3 m/s^2... thats like .1 or .15 Newtons.

Mind that I dont have a set of velocity readers to figure out their average acceleration, nor do I have a ball python head to shove on a scale, this was just guesswork, anyway the difference is pretty big. Mind that I'm not going to sit here and try and figure out momentum, kinetic energy, or collision information for the baseball, I'm too lazy for all that and I'd need to know more about its velocity before and after impact for that anyway.
