So how do you think it would really be like facing a professional pitcher?

Great angle. I faced a 96mph pitch and the guy went on to pitch...made AAA

I knew then that I baseball wasn't going to be my living.

Yeah, quite a few years ago a friend of mine was friends with a guy who was a minor league pitcher. I got a chance to try to bat against him and told him to throw me his fastball and don't hold back...all I can say is that I heard the ball go by, but I didn't actually see it go by. lol

Yeah, just saw my drunk post. In HS played against what was ranked the number one HS.team in the nation. Same school A Rod went to. Had at least 3 players that played in the majors. When that thing comes in like that...well I knew I wasn't going to be doing that for a living.

I have, Although I can't say he topped out at 100mph because I don't think he ever did. I have coached a few also that made it to the bigs AAA teams. I really didn't take a few swings though, mostly catch but we did go to a LL field and stood in there, damn exciting.
Got to throw on a MLB catcher too.
I've had a great history playing with athletes not just MLB , they're just normal people who do something different

I used to play local recreational hockey for fun. We weren't very good, but it was fun and good exercise. I was a goalie. Once in a while a real NHL player between teams or after his pro days were over would show up. I could stop him once in a while if I got lucky, but he wasn't going all out.

Shit, even Lesbian Ally from one of the local women's teams could beat me easiily if she got a clean shot.

Back in the day, Cooperstown had pitching machines set up to mimic the current best pitchers. There was a Valenzuela screwball, Carlton slider, Blyleven curveball, and Nolan Ryan fastball.

I'm somewhat proud to say that I managed a foul tip off Ryan. I will not mention how many pitches it took lol

I was hitting slow pitch softballs at the batting cage. I went by the baseball machine and it was only set to 80. Even though I played high school baseball there wasn't a chance I was touching even an 80 MPH fastball.
