I feel like this exactly illustrates my point. I’m well aware there are fielders and I simply said the amount of times I hit the ball over 100 mph only to have it be for naught is frustrating. The chart shows the batting average on balls hit over 102 mph is over .500. The same numbers of fielders are on the field for those hits (I’m assuming). So simply put if you hit the ball really hard more often than not, you will get a hit. The shows response to that? Hold my beer.
