Hitting a baseball thrown by a major league pitcher is probably pretty hard. Maybe you think differently, but when I ponder the fact that major league hurlers are throwing pitches with widely different movement profiles, at different speeds, it starts to seem a bit miraculous that anyone makes contact at all, much less obliterates a baseball into the stands with some regularity. The thing about baseball, though, is that swinging and missing isn’t the end of the world: you can do that three times before your result at the plate is locked in, while no one can undo a dinger once it’s been hit.
