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.

Most of them are pitchers, the least athletic demanding position on the field. I had a kid on a state championship team (subtle brag), that couldn't hit a bull in the arse with a bass fiddle and never played a position other than pitcher for four years.

But he had a breaking ball unlike anything I've ever seen from a kid and could locate it for strikes when needed.

It's always blown my mind that schools release the weights of male athletes but not of female athletes...

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.

That's a 1B, a DH, and two pitchers, they don't have to be in shape.

Ah, suffering from the 'dicky-do' disease. Where the stomach pokes out further than the dicky do. Many a middle aged men have succumb to this dreadful disease, including myself.

I would love to see any of you try and hit a fastball coming at you at 70mph from 43 feet away!

Pujols, Piazza, and Giles tried to hit a 68mph pitch from Jennie Finch in 2018 and all failed! Badly!


I would love to see you hit a 102 mph pitch from Shohei Ohtani. Until I will not validate us hitting 68 mph from this woman who 90% of the population doesn't know exist

I would rather try to hit that fastball than try to figure out which pronouns they want me to use.
