The very best major league batters (i.e., Giancarlo Stanton) can generate a maximum bat head speed in the range of 95-100 mph. More typical bat head speed across MLB is around 75-80 mph.
I would guess at some high enough bat speed that you would simply tear the baseball apart. It compresses an amazing amount when it's hit by a bat moving 90 mph, let alone going twice that speed (and with what appears to be significantly more mass than a regulation wood bat).
