According to that site, the closing speed between the two is less than 200 mph, which is impossible for a human to throw, but not impossible for a machine to throw. It’s probably impossible for a human to hold the bat, and a critical detail is the bat is allowed to flex, acting as a spring, sending more energy back into the ball.
Ultimately, yes, sounds like the physics is reasonable, but the biology side is in doubt.

You’re gonna need a ridiculous throw to get a bounce comparable to a proper hit
And a hell of a strong bat
