Verlander's 4-seamer has a lot of horizontal movement and some vertical.
There's a reason I specified "Verlander's 4-seamer".

I'd lean over, take one in the ribs and charge the mound.

it could be like terminator 1 at the end. ff 1:50

I'd try to take it in the glutes.

Easy - I'll just replace the implant.

If they are all strikes, I think most baseball people could foul one off

all the same pitch... all right down the middle

Yeah, not as difficult as you're making it sound like making contact with 1 of

I said I could foul tip one, but it would be luck

I had an unfortunate experience trying to show off for my HCBW at the batting...

LOL, it looks like about 10 CBers

Next CB outing will be at the batting cages. I expect a report.

i can't catch up to a 80 mph fastball in the batting cage
RC Vikings
6/5/14 9:34am
102mph Verlander or low-90s Verlander?
BYUCoug11
6/5/14 9:36am
either
johnnycarson
6/5/14 9:37am
Low 90s... Maybe I could foul tip one. 100s, no way

Does bunting count? If so, maybe.
byukirty
6/5/14 9:38am
No way I could get myself to square up. That sounds terrifying.
cougfanblue
6/5/14 9:39am
Yeah, I'm sure that would go well.
SoCalCoug
6/5/14 9:44am
And with that, there's no way I'm squaring to bunt.

Verlander's 4-seamer isn't a straight fastball

the hypothetical is we tell verlander to throw a straightish fastball 5 times
johnnycarson
6/5/14 10:17am
Hypo was "will pipe only fastballs"
SoCalCoug
6/5/14 10:19am
Pipe only fastballs literally means the same pitch in the same location five
wabluecoug
6/5/14 10:22am
It would take me 100 swings to dial in on the location.
cougfanblue
6/5/14 10:09am
But if you know it going to be right down the middle every time, you don't have

6/5/14 10:04am
i would say 9 out of 10 guys would whiff 5 times. probably wouldn't even see it
johnnycarson
6/5/14 9:52am
99 out of 100.
SoCalCoug
6/5/14 9:53am

Yeah, that is one in a million. Most fouled bunts go the other way.
