I think you are wrong!


The greatest players in the history of baseball failed to record a hit in ~70% of their career at bats, and you think a college softball player can hit MLB pitching? I mean yay feminism and all that, but don't be delusional.

You are an idiot.

The whiff rate in baseball is about 20%.
On average, a player hits the ball 80% of the time.

There is some 100 year old delusion that hitting a pitch is the hardest thing to do in sports.
Watch Pro's versus Joe's. It was actually one of the easier tasks.

I have no doubt that softball players can look good up at the plate against big league pitchers (making contact)

Man to man coverage on a former wide receiver? Near impossible.

A 70mph fastpitch is equal to a 95 mph baseball pitch.

Not trying to be a feminist, but facts are facts. Given time to learn, I think these elite fastpitch hitters could learn to hit a baseball.
