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?
In: Other
Combination of the variety of pitches they can throw and your reaction time. Take any illusions you have of being able to “adjust your timing” and put those in the trash, it’s not happening. You’ll never see the same pitch twice and if you do you won’t realize it.
