OpenCV velocity estimation

I was wondering if Lucas-Kanade Optical flow would be the best way to estimate the velocity of a baseball/cricketball being hit. I want to get a 3d velocity vector of the initial velocity of the ball to plug into a physics engine. Would I need 2 cameras, 1 for the x, y component and another for x/y, z Or can it be done with 1?

I wouldn't rely on optical flow, this will be too noisy. Much more reliable to take the positions in two successive frames. Two cameras, stereoscopy.
