When the ball leaves the pitchers hand, a batter has the blink of an eye to judge where the ball is, where the ball is breaking, where the ball will be when the bat comes through the zone, and whether or not it's a strike.
I guess the best way to illustrate how hard it is to hit a baseball..
A .300 hitter is consider a very good hitter.. that means 3 out of 10 at bats he gets a hit.
If MJ was a 3/10 shooter he would never been in the NBA. In baseball, it means you're an All Star.

You think hitting a baseball is tough?
You've obviously never seen David Weathers pitch!!
