You need to curb the contrarianism you tend to be onHe would be mid in today’s game
I got eyes. Them dudes didn’t have to deal 90 mph off speed pitches. Cats throwing 100.
90 mph fastballs were a big deal. Now cats off speed pitches are thrown just as hard as fastballs in the 50s and 60s. Take Jacob DeGrom in the 60s he look like witchcraft

Ted Williams with today’s training is a routine .350 plus hitter
But those guys didn't get the same level of training as today's players. It's not like there's been some change in the human gene pool.
Good point
But all the training in the world may not let you overcome something you cant handle.

Ted was a pilot in the Marine Corps during WW2 and Korea.
Dude was considered a top gunner, aided by the fact he had 20/10 vision. Even among elite baseball players, dude was on a different level.
He'd be a .300 guy at the worst but probably much higher with good plate discipline.

I don’t think you know how obsessed Ted Williams was about baseball. He was a nutcase about it. Read up on him.
