For example, if you were playing baseball, you could slow time to about 50% of normal speed for a couple of seconds and a pitched ball would just float across the plate.

It would be like having the ability to think and act faster than anybody else. Think what that might do for a boxer, a soldier, a pilot, or for that matter, a crook.
