pressing alt-fire with the Sandman causes the Scout to launch the baseball towards the enemy. Successfully hitting a target with the baseball slows the enemy as well as damages them, provided that they are a sufficient distance away. A slowed enemy's speed is capped at 225.88 Hammer units per second, about the same speed as a walking Heavy, regardless of the class. The slow duration depends on how long the ball has been in the air; the longer the ball's travel time, the longer they're slowed.
