occasional walk or HBP. But then again even the high walk pitchers would avoid that many walks if they knew they were pitching against us and just needed to get the ball over the plate.

it's not the speed--location and movement are the problem.

Exactly. There are lots of high school pitchers who throw harder than lots of

Are you sure you saw it? Probably saw a gnat.

If it's Pedro Baez I'd probably walk at least 6 of the 9 times

Then they wouldn’t be at bats. Even if you walked a few times you would still

I love people that seriously vote anything but 9. You keep being you!

Anyone that played HS ball and is less than 40 wouldn’t strike out all 9 times.

SlantRoute

6/4/18 9:43pm

Yeah they would. The MLB pitcher would likely be a couple standard deviations better than anyone they ever got

That’s fine that you didn’t play in HS. So I’m not counting you.

Our HS pitcher was drafted #4 overall and I had no trouble hitting him,

You couldn’t hit a MLB curve or slider choking up with a half swing. Let alone

The pitcher could call out the pitch before they throw it and it wouldn’t make a difference. Every MLB pitcher has

I don’t need to get a hit though. Just need to dribble one down in fair territory.

27 swings of the bat and I wouldn't get close once.

BTW, the pitcher you want to face is Josh Tomlin. He has a record high FIP right now and velocity is down.
