Um, you can hit a fastball thrown at 90mph down the middle? I doubt it...try going to batting cages and do it...it is not that easy. Not to mention hitting curve balls, change ups, sliders, splitfingers, screwballs all placed to specific parts of the plate like low and outside, up and in and out of the zone completely. Believe me, as a person who used to play high school baseball (and couldn't hit 75mph fastballs that were placed right) and have been playing football and baseball all my life, it is much harder to do what major league hitters do than what football players do...football might be more physically demanding, but baseball (specifically hitting) is just much harder thing to do. You don't have to take my word about it being tough, I think sports illustrated last year ranked hitting a major league pitch the hardest thing in sports to do by an overwhelming margain.
