Funny, here I'm thinking wannabe ballplayers like you and me might just find it easier to hit a high-arc pitch like that, which was really not much different than in a high arc softball game. Regardless, wouldn't you love to get to shot at hitting against that?
To be honest I was never any good at hitting the super high arc / slow pitch softball stuff...[embarrassed emoji]...
It's cool to see the players who can hit nothing but bombs off that high lob stuff....that's a grooved swing..!
If I was given the chance to bat in front of 50,000 fans and struck out... TRYING TO HIT THAT NICKLE DIME LOB BALL ****.... I might just start walking towards Mexico to start a new life.
OK..so picture yourself sitting in the stands at a MLB game and the House Announcer says over the PA System....
"HEY ZEETS ..!! THE REDS ARE OUT OF PLAYERS AND THE MANAGER NEEDS YOU TO PUT DOWN YOUR BEER AND GRAB A BAT..!!! YOU ARE DUE TO BAT 3RD THIS INNING....!! IT'S GAME 7 OF THE WORLD SERIES BUT DON'T BE NERVOUS...!!!
OK, with that thought in mind have you ever heard of.........
