I could get a hit off of an MLB pitcher

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

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.
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.

You are talking about a professional MLB pitcher where a Hall of Fame hitter would only get 6 hits in 20 at bats. A sport where there are guys getting 4 hits in 20 at bats getting paid millions.
A college pitcher would not need a defense to keep you hitless. Neither would most All-State, All-region type High Schoolers. Put a defense behind them and any weak contact you make is getting out. I could invite you out to my son's 14U travel team tournament this weekend and we could take 10 kids from that and give you 20 at bats each, so 200 at bats, and I am certain you would still go hitless. And some of them might not even reach 80.

The average college pitcher with no defense would absolutely give up a hit to me.
If I played 14u right now? I’d easily be the best player on your team.

It also doesn’t equivocate to someone making a post saying “I’d throw out Rickey” as a meme. I’m not talking about the greatest to ever pitch, I’m talking about a 5 ERA guy.

Ok. What if we could devise an experiment where you’d have a batting machine like this one:
https://youtu.be/Q_F9CxSmGOM
And you could program it to randomly swing through different parts of the zone and to randomly swing based on the speeds of a fastball, change, and slider. What would the odds be of the machine making contact against a real pitcher? It would just be random probability, but it would eventually happen wouldn’t it? And it could potentially happen on the first pitch. I think this dude could do it. But it would be based random probability. If you were to blindfold someone, and had them randomly swing against a pitcher, there’s a chance they could get a hit. Obviously, this isn’t exactly what he’s arguing, but I still think it’s possible. Not likely, but possible. Surely there’s some real work I need to be doing. -

OP, you'd get smoked. Ive seen too many good batters go into deep slumps. That's guys who see this type of pitching on the daily. The number 4 prospect in baseball, since call up, can't even much get it going. You think you could hold your own? Think again. Youd be lucky if a pitcher didn't try some chin music while he laughs as you pi** all over yourself.
I think Kelenic has been looking good. Solid contact and deep at bats, not many K’s. Just remember how long it took Vladdy to get going...
The talent is there. It generally takes a minute to adjust to that pitching. Theres one rookie that I've been super impressed with that it didn't take but a minute for him to adjust and that is the Twins, Alex Kiriloff. Kelenic will get it going.

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
Every pitcher in the MLB was likely the best hitter on their HS team, and possibly their college team. Last time you played was coach pitch and you probably sucked so mommy and daddy switched you to soccer. Stfu already

Once my knee recovers if I can find a machine that throws 90 I’ll try it,l. Don’t think there’s any MLB pitchers near me though

That’s not true, there’s lots of POs nowadays who’s coaches don’t let them hit in HS or college

What is your confidence level? What percent chance are you giving yourself?

"once my knee recovers" Thanks for that man, I know all of this is a troll post, but the comedy is still gold!
Now, you need to go to batting cages and whiff so hard your helmet flies five feet. Put it on youtube. Thanks in advance.

No way. I would against at even money in a heart beat. 60% implies you're a .045 hitter. Not without some significant training.

Ozzie Albies started the season 1 for 20. He only struck out 3 times during that stretch. You are not as good as Ozzie Albies. Not only are you giving yourself way to much credit, you are discounting how awesome Major League defenders are.
And you would not even make my son's travel team or middle school team during tryouts much less be the best player. Their best players will play in college You didn't even play travel ball I am guessing. Just Rec league.
