WHY wouldn’t I be able to hit one out of 100 pitches from a major leaguer?

755 viewsOther

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?

Based on pure luck you could probably at least get contact between the bat and the ball at least once with 100 tries in a row.

However, if the context is “get a hit” in baseball terms that would mean you would need to make contact and also have the ball go fair and also not result in you being put out either by a caught fly or thrown out at first. That is far leas likely to occur within 100 pitches against a pro.
