Assuming a 200lb man and a perfectly elastic collision, the ball would be reduced to ⅓ its original velocity, while the man would be accelerated to 1⅓ of the ball’s original velocity, so 4× the end velocity of the ball.
There’s almost certainly some exchange between angular/linear momentum, but I’m approaching my wife’s tolerance for math at the breakfast table XD
