Hitting a major league fastball?

[HERPDERP]

It's really not all that hard to hit a fastball if you know it's coming and you get enough tries. You can time the swing.

ltr?

 

lol no.

[BigCecil]

I just went 20/20 for contact in the 'fast' pitching machine (low 80s), I know that's not bragworthy but just saying 1000 attempts is a lot... lol

 

You are definitely the next "Tebow" find Gov.

lol this is how I'd probably look and then pass out after 30 swings

Each spring he updates the rosters, the Jays team is stacked based on last year's offense lol.

Anyone in good health who has swung a bat before can hit a 90 mph fastball if that's all they're seeing. They might not hit it well, but they'll put it in play occasionally.

A bunt counts as a hit

 

I can tell you that I am not squaring to bunt if I'm facing Chapman.

 

In my youth I figure I'd make contact about 500 times. About 400 of those being foul. Now I figure I'm fouling off about 150. As for HR's I don't do that in Slo Pitch and hit maybe 5 out of the park in my life. So I'm happy for one lineshot over the infield.

[Deadpool]

Given 1000 chances, I'm confidant that I could make contact on a few, even if it's pure luck. Homer? Maybe at Fenway, and I managed to get out in front of one...

I'm hoping the 1000 pitches aren't 1000 straight I know I'm tiring long before the pitcher. I need these 1000 in 20 pitch increments with a good break in between.

personally ive tried the highspeed pitches at centennial park which are no where near 90 mph. lets just say I swung right through them. I didn't even havr a chance to reset and the next one was coming in

Some pitching machines are tough at 80+mph, you don't really have a chance to load up with regards to not being able to time a pitchers wind-up. You just end up slap hitting like Otis Nixon.

 

1000 swings? that might take 2 weeks with a few off days in there
