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

That would be decent for a major leaguer.

You sure it didn't hit you in the head?

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

You haven't watched Baez.

you're still not getting it. walks are not counted as at bats.

Yep, if the question was “plate appearances” then you might be able to get the

I guess I could ask Baez for a shot the next time I see him at Denny's

yes any current pitcher

I’ll take Steven Wright. I might be able to get extremely lucky and barely put

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

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.

You’d be lucky to foul a couple off.

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.

I would try to find a fringe knuckleballer
