yeah, like i said pitching is what impresses me so being able to hit a high 90's fastball is likewise pretty impressive... and the batter play a part in the chess match as well... depending on the count the pitcher must guess the odds of the batter swinging.
but i also think its a little bit of adaptation mixed with luck, i mean if you are training to look at those fastballs day in and day out a bit of relativity sets in and that 90 mile an hour heater begins to look pretty slow after a while especially when you see some high 90's... plus i think that hitting 95 plus boils down to some lucky timing and guessing to where the pitch will be located...
and still a 1/3 hitting percentage is considered good, i don't know of any other thing in life where 33% isn't failure
I understand it takes some talent... Ive participated in and excelled at sports my whole life and I believe it mostly takes effort and training and a lot of extenuating circumstances to even have the possibility to have a chance at that kind of level.
