I could get a hit off of an MLB pitcher
-
As someone who played low level pro ball, if an active middle school player got 20 at bats they MIGHT get a lucky hit. Possibly. Probably not though. I definitely wouldn't straight up bet on him, but if the odds are good enough (I'm talking at least 10-1, likely closer to 20) I'd throw down some cash on the chance a middle schooler lucks out.
Someone who only played up until middle school and hasn't swung a bat in years? I mean yeah it's possible, but extremely unlikely. Any professional pitcher will find a gaping hole in his swing and exploit it. OP can not close that in 30 minutes. And as he gets more tired from swinging his bat slows down.
OP's chance is in the decibels of a percentage, but even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile...

I like how it went from getting a hit to just putting the ball in play.

Alot of people dont realize, the worst player in the MLB, NBA, etc, is 100 times better than the average person.
that's simply not true. The worst NBA player is maybe 10 times better than a great pickup player, not 100.

No, I'm just extremely confident on ball in play and only decently confident in a hit.

If it was easy everyone would be doing it

I said the average person, a great pickup player is has much better basketball skills than an average person.

Well then I'm significantly better at baseball than the average person. I have at least played at some level, I know good form and technique and have a better eye.

Let me put this to you mildly. If the last time you played any real baseball is when you were 13 or 14, you have no chance in heck of making contact against a real MLB pitcher. Do you really think 92+ is slow?.....that would be gas to you no matter what kind of shape you're in. I admit it was a good enough post to get 8 or 9 pages of comments but this dream would never come true.

I went to some batting cages a few years ago and had not swung in years and I could barely make contact on 60-70 mph, lol.

Bro, playing in middle school doesn’t qualify as playing at some level...

I would love to watch an ex- middle school player try to hit a 98mph fastball.... hilarious thread. Hey.... if the Paul Brothers can pretend to be boxers why not pretend a decent build and middle school baseball background means you can hit like a pro. The MLB pitchers are the best of the best... maybe try hitting a decent single A pitcher and see how that goes before you start saying Klubers sinker looks easy to hit on video. It doesn't matter if it's 20 ab for 1 hit.... some major league hitters would go 0-20 sometimes.

Alright guys, so hear me out. Hitters at best get on base 40% of the time. I haven't played baseball since high school and was a position player back then but yk its not as hard as it looks. I can for sure get guys out that have spent their entire lives hitting against the best of the best. I'm going to find a video of a player grounding out in the MLB for proof

A high school freshman Josh Hader struck me out when I was a senior. He was unhittable in high school.
Was this when he was making highly questionable tweets?
I mean song lyrics, but no, that was later I think. We went to different schools so I didn’t know him personally to know if he was like racist or not
Just curious, where did you go to high school? My cousin went to Old Mill (long before Josh Hader went there) and lived in Millersville, MD.
I went to Chesapeake in Pasadena

I saw Chesapeake and thought the college and was completely lost.
I grew on the shore and moved back to the Cape St. Claire a few years ago after my Army stint.

RITCHIE IS THE WORST. The Cape is a good area. I worked on some houses that way.

9 pages is a lot to go through.
Has anyone made the "as long as the MLB pitcher is a Pirate" joke yet?

I worked in Curtis Bay for right at a year and couldn't take it. The beach traffic using college parkway because of wazes would take me 45 minutes to go 3 miles on college pkwy
I've been working in Lanham for the past 2ish years. It's not bad as long as I can get across the Severn River before a back up

Bartolo Colon hit .084, I am miles more athletic and coordinated than he is. I have a good build and am in my physical prime.... and I basically only need to hit half as well as Colon.
Ok dude just stop. Now you’re asserting that you’re a better athlete than Bartolo based on what evidence? Please enlighten us!!! Because he’s fat??? Because he doesn’t run fast?? Because he is a terrible hitter??? How about these facts!!! He’s a former cy young award winner, finished in the top five for the gold glove at his position several times. He has actually hit a home run. He has posted several videos on social media of his workout regimen. The dudes a lot more athletic than you give him credit for and my guess is at the age of 48 he would still blow you away at plate with his 89 mph fastball that he can dot anywhere in the strike zone that he chooses. But you continue embarrassing yourself with these outlandish claims and we’ll continue rolling our eyes at your ignorance.

He’s good at baseball, he’s not athletic. This isn’t really something disputed
