Looks pretty hittable from the catcher's angle because it's easy to gauge the ball's path and speed. You can easily imagine hitting it since you imagine your bat's arc/attack as being at the same level as your eyes. Stand at the plate from the batter's angle, though, and gauging the path and speed becomes A LOT tougher.

When I was in little league there was a 12 year old that was 6 feet tall and throwing it about 75 mph. Keep in mind this was from only 45 feet, so in essence it was like facing a 90 mph pitcher. No one on my team could hit him. One of my teammates on the second time we faced him hit it over the fence against him and our entire team acted like he had parted the seas. Even our coach and the parents, not just his parents all our team’s families. So after everything calmed down we all kept asking him how he did it and he never would answer, he’d say things like it’s a secret and so on. Then finally we ended up briefly being coworkers many years later and he just said he blindly started swinging hard as soon as the pitcher released the ball lmao.

@frankiefiggs18147 жыл бұрын
.350 in HIGH SCHOOL? damn, brother.............top players hit over .500 in high school.............over .400 in college............over .300 in the minors............... The difference is in high school you might face a pitcher every now and then that throws 90+ but they really don't have another pitch......college, pitchers now have another pitch they can throw for strikes along with their fastball.................pro ball, pitchers throw hard and can spot their fastball with movement and can consistently throw two other pitches for strikes. That is why it gets more difficult as you advance. Can't just sit on fastballs anymore. If you get a fastball and pull it foul, you ain't seeing that pitch again.

Didn't make my high school team - and we weren't a powerhouse. So, when I look at this pitcher's easy motion, think I'm tracking the ball pretty good, hear the smack in the mitt - I know it's an illusion. Put me up against a live pitcher throwing 80+ and I'll probably walk away having made no contact but highly impressed.

90 mph is no problem. I've made contact in batting cages at 95. What concerns me is the movement that a professional has, even on the fastball. Gee's ball looks pretty straight, but keep in mind, he's only warming up out there. This guy was a serviceable starting pitcher in the major leagues. I'm sure he brings a lot more than you're watching out to the mound. I've also taken cuts against a former major league starting pitcher (after he'd retired) and he made me feel pretty silly. I got to see about 20 pitches. I made decent contact a couple of times, but I also damned near broke an ankle swinging at a breaking ball that just wasn't there anymore.

Those early pitches of course are "warm ups". They are all at about the same speed, and generally have little movement. As his velocity increases (2.06) you see the ball begin to "move" more.

I played ball as a kid up until I got out of school and was a terrible hitter to begin with. There is absolutely no way I could hit a 90 plus fast ball. I couldn't hit a mid 80's or a curve. What most people don't know but you can see it here is a fast ball explodes the last 15 feet. If a pitcher has good mechanics, you don't pick the ball up until it is well out of his hand and you only see it for a fraction of a second before it explodes. This guy isn't even a big league pitcher. Imagine what a high 90's and a good splitter and slider would look like. If you could stand in with a major league pitcher and not be thinking about how you were going to get out of the way, I would be surprised. I got hit in a batting cage one time by a machine.

@cmoore1857 жыл бұрын
People that say they got hit with a 90 mph past ball are usually either full of themselves or full of crap. Rarely does any pitcher reach 90 mph until their body has completely matured. That is why I said mid 80's. I played a little semi pro ball and still doubt I saw anything in the 90's. When the average major league fastball is just in the low 90's, teams are lucky to have anyone throwing much faster unless they are big. Look at the really hard throwing guys today and you will see all of them are big dudes. 6'4" and up. Noah Syndagard hits 99 and he is 6'5". Chapman is 6'5". Go back a few years. Clemons was 6'4", 240, Johnson was 6'10". These guys are big dudes and they aren't just all over the place. Lyncicum threw hard early but he was completely unorthodox. He used his whole body and not just his arm. btw, he blew his body out. Like I said, if you can hit 85, you can at least play some pro ball. Most can't even see it.

Jimmy Jeter Same. I mean I played a lot of sports...was more of an athlete. Baseball, soccer, basketball, track & field, cross country, golf...and played on many all star and travel teams. Baseball was the only sport in which I just felt outmatched at some point. I was a great fielder...was usually on 2nd or at short stop. But when the pitching speed got crazy, I think I started becoming a bit more intimidated. Lol At that age, they had speed but not tons of control. The other sports though it wasn't quite like that at all. Sure, people were more and more skilled...but it never slipped out of my control.

Back in the day at the Old Comiskey Park, the Red Sox came to town to play the White Sox. I am a Cubs fan, but my buddy and me would go to the games there because 1. The Sox were sucky and great seats were easy to get last minute and 2. to see the HOFer's from the AL come through Chicago. Clemens was in his prime then and I mosied over behind home plate one inning to see him throw. OMFG. All I saw was his arm motion and the pop of the catcher's mitt. I could barely see the ball. Unreal.

One thing you clearly see particularity with a thrown fast ball is that the hitter has to already in the motion of a swing before the ball even leaves the pitchers hand. and about time the ball is in travel, the hitter must not only be in rotation with the bat, but also adjust to the location of the ball. in other words, the hitter must not only give large amounts of strength to rotating the bat in time, but also to alter its trajectory along the way. That takes crazy amounts of physical strength.

Haven't swung a baseball bat in 15 years, but just went to some batting cages today for fun. I am athletic enough I suppose, and sure, no one could ever expect to just pick up a bat and be good. But holy hell, I could barely hit the 50 and 60 mph speeds. I stepped up to the 80 mph and it's incredible how the ball appears in front of the machine, then is by you before you have a chance to think, much less time a swing, and I don't have to worry balls vs strikes, or where in the zone it's going to be. And 80mph is a slow change-up in MLB. A lot of respect for what a hitter does. PS I got extremely lucky and made really good contact on one 80mph pitch. I fouled 2 or 3 other off to the side. The rest I whiffed on big time XD

My son was playing in his first year of little league. Jamie Rock had been drafted by the Yankees and was our high school pitcher. Our little league and middle school class were practicing. Jamie was pitching for them in the high eighties mph. We had kids hitting off him regularly. One of my son’s teammates was Brian Dozer. Heck , Brian wasn’t even the best on the team. Other boys didn’t have the grades or money to go to college.

In High School, I batted against a buddy who was a teammate back in Little League. I he could touch low 90's and had a legit Curve Ball. I bailed out of the batter's box first two pitches because I thought the Curve Ball was going to hit me. After I would say about 20 pitches, I managed to foul tip one almost to the first base side dugout. Never felt so helpless in an athletic endeavor.

I could probably hit in bp, but to judge when to swing at strikes and to make adjustments mid swing on curves, sliders, changeups, and so on is incredibly tough. Even trying to place the ball is just wow. You get used to the speed, it's the movement, placement, and speed changes that make big league pitchers nearly impossible to hit for all but the best in the world. You need near perfect timing and excellent eyesight to see the spin and the reflexes to adjust to movement. Crowd the plate and they'll go inside, back off and they paint the corners, step early and they changeup, and if all else fails the pitcher and you get him for a few, then you gotta watch out for the head hunting to cool you off. Oh yeah, and if you do manage to make contact, some of the best athletes in the world are in the field to get you out and can cover all but a few dozen square feet of the whole field. Also, the catcher will be talking shit. Have fun.

Babe Ruth said that toward the end of a pitch he sometimes just closed his eyes and swung where he thought the ball was going. He was very smart because studies have shown that in the last 1/5 of s second as the ball reaches the plate the action is happening so fast that your brain can't process it. So you might as well just close your eyes and swing as to where you think the ball is going to be.

Hadn't played ball since Little League and went to the batting cage at age 50. Took little league pitches at 35 mph: hit only grounders. Took HS/college pitches at 55-65 mph: whiffed at some, hit fouls on others. Took the 90 mph big league pitches: could not even get the bat off my shoulder and the pitch was by me. I had to start swinging before the pitch left the machine. Did not even make contact with a single pitch. Looks easy on TV but forget about it.

I played adult league. My very first game, I was inserted into the lineup in the fourth inning and had to face an ex-major leaguer. He threw a legit 90 mph fastball. It was intimidating. The sound of the ball humming toward the plate is a lot different from inside the batters box than anywhere else. They say it’s the hardest thing to do in sports. Hit a round ball with a round bat, squarely. I think “they” are right.

It's all timing & hand speed, you get your bat cocked the moment it leaves his hand. if it looks good-swing, if not hold. sometimes you just gotta guess. Pro hitters take thousands of BP reps to prepare for this.
