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?

That old show sports science did a thing where they determined that hitting a fast ball is THE most difficult action in any sport, don’t remember the details of it but when you factor in the speed it’s moving, the size of the ball, the bat, you having to swing the bat, the millions of variables in where the bat and ball could be at the perfect time for a hit….. 1 in 1000 swings might get a lucky hit lol
