I want to start this by saying, I am not so idiotic as to think I actually would be able to hit a major league pitcher.
But when presented with the “do you think you’d be able to even make contact on 1 out of 100 pitches by a pitcher”, I’d like to understand why.
Like if they did nothing but pitch breaking stuff, couldn’t I just overcorrect? Same deal with fastballs? I’m sure they would mix it up, but out of 100 straight pitches, if you were a major-league pitcher, what would you do to make sure that they never made contact?

There’s a massive difference between a major league pitcher throwing 100 pitches over the plate at speed and a major league pitcher trying to get you out.
In the first scenario you might be able to anticipate the timing and luck into some contact. In the second scenario you may not get the bat within a foot of the ball.
