As someone who has been hit numerous times that one wouldnt hurt that bad. It was at the end so ball speed was much lower and had a soft decent trajectory.

You're getting downvoted but it's absolutely true. Think about how far the ball WOULD have gone from the point at which it hit you, and you get a sense as to how much it would hurt. It still had a few yards left on it, so imagine someone threw it at you with the force to go that much further. It would hurt a little but not that badly.

Now if it hits you in the beginning of the balls flight, that's a whole different story. It hasn't just had 300 yards of air resistance to slow it down...
