POLL: Could you hit an MLB pitcher? Lets say you facing a Righty MLB starter, and he said he'd throw you 3 pitches

Live in look at CBers against MLB pitching

How fast? There's a big difference between 90 mph and 100 mph. I've tried to hit

mncougar

6/5/17 1:13pm

lets say 95

6/5/17 1:13pm

Chances are I wouldn't connect on any of the 3 at 95. 90 is pretty much my

keep in mind a pitching sim is quite a bit different than a human being

Well of course, but I'm assuming from his question that the pitch would be

The average speed of an MLB fastball is right around 92.

6/5/17 1:24pm

there's the thing....i don't think 10 pitches is enough to get the scared

Maybe he could hit my still bat bunted over the plate.

I've swung at balls from pitching machines that threw at MLB speeds before

ayfan

6/5/17 1:16pm

No chance....

Baseball77

6/5/17 1:21pm

exactly. 1 out of 3 think they could make contact. we could line up all 500

6/5/17 1:23pm

My guess is that outside of former college players, the only CBers that would go

mncougar

6/5/17 1:31pm

Thats not what OP said, he said Fastball straight down the middle every time

ayfan

6/5/17 1:28pm

It wouldn't be that hard to make contact once. You just are sticking the bat out

Baron

6/5/17 1:37pm

but to actually swing....you'd be late, your eyes would be closed...

6/5/17 1:48pm

Maybe Jered Weaver's fastball

that's a pretty mean tweet

Here's an update

Right, especially when Law probably throws 55 on a good day.

mncougar

6/5/17 1:27pm

He should just tell everyone he throws 90% change ups

JohnnyComeLately

I could hit it if I bunted

I faced a recently graduated BYU closer in rec league while in college

CaliWG

I'd go yard on all three pitches.

BE-WHY-YOU

That's the confidence we like to see.

jaredm

6/5/17 1:50pm

Take a look at some numbers for average MLB player

JohnnyComeLately

6/5/17 1:30pm

A MLB player would hit all 3 if they knew they were going right down the middle

Baron

6/5/17 1:35pm

Sure but noone on here is making 10 million a year to hit baseballs all day.

JohnnyComeLately

6/5/17 1:41pm

so, what was the point of your comparison?

smokymountainrain

6/5/17 1:44pm

Baseball players who see fastballs all day long dont hit 1 out of 3 fastballs they see in a game situation.

JohnnyComeLately

6/5/17 1:49pm

This isn't a game situation, in a game situation you don't know what pitch to

ayfan

6/5/17 2:06pm

Fair enough. I don't care to argue maybe you guys could crush a 95 mph fastball

JohnnyComeLately

6/5/17 2:15pm

In high school our cross town rival had a kid who got drafted in the first round

6/5/17 1:43pm

I went to the Cubs Giants game 1 of the playoffs last year in Wrigley field

if you've got 4 mins, watch this

6/5/17 1:55pm

I love this. "The sound guy has got a pretty good curve ball." Ha ha

Game Changer

Maybe back in the day but I doubt it. I was decent vs HS pitchers, never great.

6/5/17 1:58pm

Here's the thing though.. an MLB pitcher is going to be able to put the ball in

StantonMac

Fear, plus the ability to actually see the ball when it's moving that fast,

mncougar

6/5/17 3:49pm

I totally could. My Freshman year I batted 1000 so I'm pretty sure that

Malathion

6/5/17 2:23pm

3? No way. 10? Probably make contact/foul off on 10 if it's same speed.

6/5/17 2:34pm

If I get 3 flat fastballs right down the pipe, I might could foul one off.

Hotty-Toddy-Reb

6/5/17 3:18pm

Even fastballs from MLB pitchers have movement. Unless it's Francisco Rodriguez.

russkiejedi

6/5/17 6:01pm

The difference between a MLB pitcher and 99% of HS pitchers that can throw 90+
