Hitting a Baseball is the Hardest Skill to Pull Off in Sports. Here’s Why.

A unique blend of physics and neuroscience makes the skill astronomically difficult.

Braves host the pesky Nationals this weekend.
Astros at Orioles
Mets at San Diego ( Go Mets)
Dodgers host Tampa Bay
Phillies at Royals (probably the best series of weekend).

Ohtani is 1 HR and 1 SB away from joining the 40/40 club. Should be NL MVP. The stolen bases are pretty much the only separating he and Ozuna. Any other year Ozuna would probably be MVP, but Ohtani is just too good all-around.

Aaron Judge is having a historic season and should be unanimous AL MVP. On pace to have 61 HR, 38 doubles, and 149 RBI with a slash line of .334/.465/.726. All of that is impressive but the best to me is his total bases. He is on pace to have 413 total bases. He would be only the 10th occurrence post-1950 to reach 400 total bases and would be good for 15th all-time in a season.

Big props to Bobby Witt Jr. Any other year he would probably be AL MVP. Kid is phenomenal and having one heck of a season. He will have to settle for 2nd and winning the Silver Slugger for the SS position.

Braves have Sale and Lopez going in Games 1 and 3. Wheelchair Charlie hosting Game 2. Should win at least 2 but really need a sweep due to a series with the Twins and Phillies coming up next.

Crab Legs vs The Engineers on the pitch at high noon tomorrow to kickoff the pigskin season. The match will take place across the pond in Pub City.

Ernie Clement of the Blue Jays hit a ball measuring 4.6 feet from the ground and it ended up 380ft for a homer. That ranks as the second highest hit for a HR in the stat cast era (2015).

Babe Ruth’s 1932 “Called Shot” jersey started at auction at a meager $7.5M and is up to $18.12M including fees. Experts say they won’t be shocked to see it hit $30M by the time the auction closes on Sunday. Anyone got an extra $30M lying around???

I wonder how high this dude was whenever he came to the game

I’m thinking the same. Crab Legs win but won’t cover.

Joey Votto officially retired. One of my favorite players to watch play and have interactions like this. I wish every athlete had an ounce of Votto’s enthusiasm and charisma.
