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?

I tried a 90 mph batting cage when I was young. I made contact once by starting my swing as the ball was being released. I couldn’t see it coming in and it was pure luck that my bat was in the right place at the right millisecond. So even being a fairly athletic 20 year old I was still too slow.
I can’t imagine trying to hit a pitch from a human who is trying to make me miss. It’s not going to happen.
