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.

I think could be possible for 2reasons:

My uncle olay3d for the yankees, ny cousin,hia son was a college pitcher

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

You're still not getting it. It's a joke. 🙂

I don't believe you.

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

I played high school baseball for a powerhouse program...so I can confidently say

Do I get to pick the pitcher?

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!

6/4/18 9:37pm

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

shimmy

6/4/18 9:49pm

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

SlantRoute

6/4/18 10:12pm

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

6/4/18 9:51pm

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

Yep. Just because you got a few hits off a high schooler who could hit 88 on the

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.

I had a fairly successful college(JC) baseball career (~20years ago) but I doubt

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

RC Vikings

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

shimmy

I would try to find a fringe knuckleballer
