Angels: Who is the best meatball hitter?

MEATBALL!!!

Whether you’re playing baseball on your school diamond where the grass doesn’t quite separate from the dirt, or you’re watching a game on TV, everyone has either yelled it themselves, or heard it said many times. A pitch right over the middle of the plate, a meatball. I’m picturing the evil New York Mets player in Rookie of the Year squeezing sawdust out of his bat, his tongue spilling out of his mouth, as he waits to demolish the easiest pitch in baseball (spoiler alert: he doesn’t).

Major League pitchers usually don’t make it so easy on opposing hitters.
