[@mikejones2405]

coaches don’t recruit they have people who do that for them lol do you actually think head coaches go to high school baseball games a year and watch players? not to mention that they recruited him as a pitcher so they obviously wouldn’t care about his batting average

[@crazyjulianos9967]

I was recruited for pitching, and the coach who recruited me thought I played short. It was the middle of freshman year, about to start the season, when he asks what I played in high school and I said right field. The surprise on his face. He has thought for a whole year and a half that I played short in highschool lol

[@JCTMT1996]

I see this all the time honestly. Hitters practice hitting everyday and then some pitcher who hasn’t swung in 5 years comes up and out hits the dudes who be practicing every day. I see this so often that there is definitely something to it

[@mikejones2405]

“so often” lol how exactly would you see this often? guys who literally never get up to bat “often” come out and hit bombs? does that actually make sense to you? guys who never get to the plate never rarely bat. that’s literally the point it’s definitely not something that you see often. big 🧢

[@JCTMT1996]

@@mikejones2405 I played a pretty extensive career, I saw this at least once a year among the 70-100 games a year I played. For how hard it is to hit a baseball, this RELATIVELY happens a lot. Sorry I didn’t phrase this up to your ideal depiction

[@underthetrees4780]

I think it's just about being relaxed, coming in with no expectations and reacting naturally. These people are all great athletes.

[@JCTMT1996]

@@underthetrees4780 no doubt, if you can push yourself off a mound with enough enough force to throw 90mph+…odds are you can generate enough power to rope a ball.. probably is much slower when you’re more worried about throwing strikes rather than hitting them in order to stay in the lineup/keep a job. No expectations makes the game so much easier.

[@8stormy5]

I'd wager it's pitchers knowing best basically what to expect from a pitcher, combined with college ball not yet creating the skill gap that makes it virtually impossible to be good enough at both to do both pro (there's only so many hours to practice in a day!)

This explains why pitchers in the Majors are traditionally so bad at hitting. High school and College don't even let them hit the ball.
