So I knew the pitch was coming right down the middle? I don't know the answer. I think you could would just keep swining and hope to make contact. I doubt think I ever could.
So the generic version is someone who played Little League but not high school I'm guessing? Because there's of course, plenty who never made it that far.
I'm guessing there have been studies on this? Anyone who hasn't played high school ball (which I didn't, stopped in 7th grade -- I'm guessing if I had gotten glasses earlier I would've continued for a little while longer), I'd imagine would have a very difficult time hitting anything close to minor league pitching.
Personal note - I hopped in a 90 mph batting cage a year ago to see how I fared. Now, a couple of things. It was a 90 mph equivalent cage meaning it wasn't a full 60' from release to the plate. Also it was a batting cage which is 100x harder for me than real pitching.
That said, I used to hit 90 mph pitching in high school and summer ball. It took me about 6 swings to foul tip one, and another 7 or 8 more to hit one that would've been right down the first base line. I'd say that within 25 pitches I could've hit one fair that was respectable but man it was sobering.
