The Average Person Would Be Deathly Afraid To Merely STAND In the Hitters Box

[PhonZhi]

Let alone actually get a hit off of a big league pitcher.

Most people would be too shook to even have the correct posture to even attempt to hit the ball.

Your average person ain't bout that life of having 80+ mph baseball's thrown in their direction.

The fear alone of getting hit by a pitch is gonna dead the average persons chances of making contact.

Randy Johnson was a monster

Used to love playing as him in triple play

 

[WaveMolecules]

it is by far the hardest thing to do in professional sports.

 

[the cool]

I can't even hit a 60mph at the batting cages and I'm athletic build


Maybe if I practiced for a week straight I could
60mph is fast af to me, but a 90mph fastball uhhhh no way

Kruk was so shook that the next time he faced Johnson he decided to bat right handed

Damn shame what Johnson did to that bird and almost killing Billy The Marlin and those where just warm up pitches

Damn really?

I swear from the t.v camera angle, a left handed hitter against Randy Johnson was always a scary looking site

straight up I stopped playing baseball in little league. A pitcher hit me with a fastball in my calf, I was able to make it through the game off adrenaline. I was limping for a good 3 days afterwards. To me there was no sense in having a ball that hard coming at you that fast.

I played high school baseball. We played a white school who had a pitcher that topped b/t 85 - 90 mph. Standing in the hitters box, you can hear the ball sing as it flew by you. Another one of their pitchers threw great curve balls. The ball literally looked like it was about to hit you then it dropped across the plate.

I got hit by a 80 mph fastball in the side and the pain was instant and unreal.

That's Randy Johnson, breh!

 

[MoneyBags]

Facing a prime Tyson would be up there. But later for having a baseball flung at 80 mph at you, fukk that

They called pro athletes for a reason.

I seen Lebron, Steph Curry, Prime T-Mac, Westbrook play in person.

Seeing them on tv doesn't do them justice. Seeing Lebron on a fast break n dunking or literally LEVITATING to catch an alley IN PERSON have u like



Even bench players had me like



Just the way they shoot the ball, just str8 NET.

I was at game 7 against the pacers in 2013. It really doesn't translate how quickly him and Wade would get down the court on the break. Blink and you miss it type shyt.

Yea, man I went to a Wizards vs Hornets game a while back, and it was amazing at how fast they were getting up and down the court

 

[The Jewnited States]

look at how fast the ball gets to the plate. shyt is insane

in hs my brother got hit by a 96 mph fastball thrown by a guy who currently plays for the dodgers. hit him in his tricep, he said the pain was instant and to the point he damn near wanted to cry. bruise was the size of a grapefruit and lasted 2-3 weeks. shyt is no joke. i can see why MLB players get fukking furious when a pitcher is throwing at them.
