So I stumbled across this YouTube video of MLB pitches from a batter's POV and it made me realize, "This doesn't look that hard to hit." The pitches don't seem that fast, I think I could hit these.
I haven't played baseball since middle school, but I'm a young adult in pretty good physical condition. I believe I'm getting a hit in 20 ABs versus an average MLB pitcher and defense. I said this in a group chat and basically got flamed, but I'm pretty sure I'm right here.
I did get hits off mlb pitchers. Steve woodard played at hartselle high school and I was 4 for 4 vs him. I also got hits off a couple minor league prospects.

If it is consistently the same speed in same location with no worry of a breaking ball, maybe in 20 ABs, which is like what 60 pitches, since every pitch is a strike, then yes you probably could. But it's not the same as getting a hit off a MLB pitcher who is trying to fool you.
Agree to disagree I guess, I’ll just sit fastball and adjust to the offspeed, feel like I have enough ABs to turn around on one

I'd bet some biological parts and every penny I have to my name that you couldn't get a hit off of me, let alone a MLB pitcher. Coming from a former college player, you are DRASTICALLY underestimating how hard hitting a baseball is

The pitcher throws one 90+ piece of chin music at him and he would go running home.

When I was in juco ball we played the Cubs AA team in an exhibition. We finished third that year in juco with 4 draft picks and over 15 guys signed to other schools. We got no hit. Good luck

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.

confused as in your definition of hit the ball, as in I made contact and hit it, or I got a hit. sure if you have your bat propped in the middle and pay the pticher to throw at it yeah youll hit it. otherwise if youre swinging based on your middle school self and a youtube video, can I makee a bet on you not contacting the ball going 92 plus. I played division one baseball and im not confidently stepping into any at bat years ( a few) later at anything above 85.
I meant to actually try and get a base hit with an average defense
There is zero chance with a wood bat and a defense behind the pitcher you make solid enough contact to rope out a base hit. Unless you somehow make weak contact and you hit a perfect swinging bunt down the line and run it out. Sure you might tip a few pitches but you are over estimating your abilities and grossly underestimating how hard it is to hit in MLB which is by far the hardest thing to do in professional sports.

Na. He watched a YouTube video. He's good.
I watched Tiger Woods hole a par 4... Looks easy. I could do that -
Here’s a video of an average dude attempting to hit mlb pitching. It’s pretty interesting.

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.
I think you’re underestimating how difficult it is to hit a baseball. Especially live pitching. And then you’re going to do this against someone who has trained their whole life to play baseball professionally and was good enough to make it into the MLB? Not to mention the highest level of ball you’ve played is middle school? Come on dude haha. Do you have any idea how good you have to be to even sniff the Majors?
I am talking about the worst hitter EVER in the MLB. In all likelihood I am a better hitter than him. It’s nothing against the pitchers, but they aren’t untouchable, in 20 ABs you could probably guess and swing early to find a hole somewhere in there.
If you stopped playing baseball in middle school I can guarantee worst mlb hitter of all time is 1000x better at hitting than you
The worst hitting pitcher probably also stopped hitting in middle school
That’s absolutely false kid!!! Pitchers stop hitting at the minor league level. Most pitchers were at one time pretty decent hitters until they specialized. Even colleges don’t specialize most guys unless you’re a bonafide top draft stud like Rocker or Leiter. Also the worst hitting major league pitchers spends his life around people of equal or better talent than him, he sees that pitching on a daily basis, he throws bullpen sessions next to guys with similar talent and he still looks silly at the plate facing that talent. So stop assuming that you know what your talking about.

Lol, the worst hitting pitcher in MLB was most likely the best hitter on their high school team.

This is a dude who has clearly never played baseball, he doesn’t keep his back foot planted and shift weight correctly during his swing, I at least know more technique to where my starting point is miles above his finish point

Most great HS pitchers who have a shot at the MLB are POs in HS nowadays

You would look worse than watching MLB hitters against fastpitch softball pitchers for the first time.
