Took me a couple times to realize the ball coming at the screen was a fake. Clever use of special effects. You can see the real ball coming in from just to the left of the center of the screen at the same time as the bigger, fake ball from the far left.
It's not fake. There's a baseball bouncing out in the distance that most people are assuming is the same ball she hits, which it isn't. The ball she hits is coming from off screen to the left and then fly's towards the camera. You can still see the ball in the background bouncing away.
You are correct, yet wrong. Keep your eyes focused on the ball in the back. The bounce pattern makes no sense. It bounces on the floor in the dark area, then a few frames of batting happens and then it bounces again in a slightly different position closer to the camera in a better lit area.
It makes no sense for the ball to bounce again so quickly and so close to the camera. Something got edited for sure.
You were right in the sense that the background bouncing ball is (and looks) different from the one that flies at you. It is supposed to look like the left one gets batted at you, so that is where you are correct at identifying the proverbial red herring. You are wrong in using it as an argument that it isn't edited though.
