hey maybe we aren't giving op credit he might have Usain Bolt speed and can just square around and bunt for his hit
i mean even bunting is hard when you have never seen 98 before
I bet he shts his pants trying to square around to a 95mph FB
I'd be terrified of breaking a finger! How else am I going to get beat up in ranked seasons now

Genuine question, what would make you think I’m a worse hitter than the worst statistical hitting pitcher ever, when pitchers often don’t even hit from high school on and can still hit .050 at MINIMUM in the MLB
genuine question. why did you not play high school baseball if you think you can touch MLB pitching and are better than the worst professional?

You’re wrong. I hadn’t played baseball since high school and joined an adult league at age 27. I had to relearn just about everything. Fielding came back relatively quickly.. hitting is a whole different story. If you haven’t even seen high school pitching, I doubt you even touch a single pitch. Have you even used a wood bat?
Watch the video, it doesn't look too fast, if I get 20 ABs I can just sit fastball and take a swing in the zone, that's probably 100 pitches so statistically I should connect with one and find a hole I feel like.
Bro... It’s a lot harder than you think haha. I don’t think you’d get a hit in 20 ABs against a Single A pitcher. Unless you played high level baseball into your 20s, you aren’t touching a thing without a ton of training and practice.
The worst hitting pitcher ever had about a .045 OBP in the MLB. Most pitcher only players still take BP and stuff so that’s not surprising, but that goes out the window since this is the worst hitting pitcher ever, in all likelihood, I can hit better than the worst hitting pitcher ever, and being an 18 yo male with a decent build, I think I could.
You said it all in one sentence, an 18 year old lol. You’re super young. I’m 30 and I can already tell you everything is easier said than done, and more things are harder than you think. Good to believe in yourself but it’s another thing to be realistic lol

Pitchers do hit after high school. Also THEY HIT IN HIGH SCHOOL. You have not.
Not all MLB pitchers did, if they’re a good pitching prospect they’re a PO nowadays, don’t know why that’s hard to wrap your head around

Because I don’t think I could do it consistently, I just think I could get 1 hit in 20 consecutive at bats. I also probably could have played HS but I had switched schools after MS and my new school didn’t offer it. I would not have been a star player however

Based on what I’ve seen looking at pitcher hitting stats and knowing what I know about good batting technique and having a good eye, I think 1-for-20 in 20 consecutive at bats isn’t too unrealistic. I’m not saying I’d be good enough to be even a single A player by any means, I just think with that many pitches all consecutively I could sit on something and eventually get a hit
-
I’d like to emphasize that I don’t think this is because MLB pitchers are bad, I just think that most adults aged 18-30 who have played baseball for 5 or so years at any level and know good technique and are in good physical condition would have a better chance than they think.
I think people can sometimes overestimate the skills of pro athletes a little bit, and as much as you think I’m underestimating them (which again, that’s not my argument at all) you are probably overestimating them.

I’m sick of this thread, this kid is clearly not a reasonable thinker. Everyone has told him no and he still thinks he can. Maybe get onto your high school team first. You wouldn’t get a hit and let it go. You see how many of these guys played D1? They are really good and yet couldn’t make it to the minors. This thread is [censored] stupid.

Making the minors requires consistency not 1-for-20, I also can’t make my high school team because I’m done high school and my school didn’t even have a team

Lol I haven’t played in 15 years and I’d strike you out. I can throw 87 at 40 and you couldnt touch it lol

You would strike me out, you would not strike me out 20 times in a row

20 years from now Ohtani gonna be hosting the Japanese version of Pros vs Joe’s and this guys like “Yeah I used to run through showdowns from start, so I’m here to show what I could have done if I went to a school that offered baseball”

In 100 pitches from an mlb arm guys Mow down a heavy hitting lineup for less than 5-8 hits thru 6+ innings. I have no doubt in my mind that you wouldn’t even get a hit prolly pass the infield. Hitting a baseball takes cat like reflexes that aren’t learned in 100 pitches. Your heart would be throbbing at the plate when 90+ mph blows past you. I doubt you could hit the fastball because you gotta pretty much see it before it comes to hit it

Yes but each batter only gets 2-3 ABs versus that pitcher and sabermetrics tells us that by even the third AB batter’s hit way better. I’m also not facing Cole here, I’m facing the average 5.00 ERA MLB Joe.

Yeah, not only do I think you're wrong, I think you're a moron. Have you even played baseball before? Jfc.
-
Yeah. Go to the batting cages and try to hit 85. You probably can't. Now imagine someone throwing 10-15mph faster than that, who can change speeds with serious movement. You are getting 0 hits in 20 at bats and it would be a miracle if you made any contact at all. Confidence is good start though

It's better than another thread about either Contact hitting or, directional hitters.

This is incorrect, if it's not make it take it, I could score once or twice in a game to 21 against an NBA bench player.
This is probably true but hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in any sport unlike basketball.
