Re: MLB 2019: Every Year at Playoff Time, The Dodgers Find A Way to Choke.
My guess is 1000 pitches, so let's say 250 AB. You might make contact with 100 of those pitches, and you might put 30 of them fair. Almost all of those would be weak pops or pathetic grounders. So, maybe 5 times you'd have good contact, and 1 of those might go where they aint.
In Little League I had to face 2 guys who went on to the minors. It was utterly impossible to hit them because their speed was terrifying to a non-athlete -- there was nothing you could do with anything remotely inside but bail; your brain would say, "OK, that'll be enough of that." So not only were you out of the picture for roughly half the strikes, but the other half your timing was destroyed.
