Friend thinks he can play AAA baseball

I have this friend who swears he can make a AAA baseball team like the Zephyrs, i mean Baby Cakes. This guy did not even play baseball in highschool. He's just going off the fact that he can hit a cabbage ball far. FWIW we played cabbage ball in middle school! 5'8 155. I said hes crazy, and that there is no way he can just step in and hit 85 mph pitching at that level. He wants to try out for a baseball team. What does OT say.?

He's an idiot. I was a slightly above average ball playes in HS and had trouble hitting a ball at 70mph in the cages a few years back

Lol put him in a slow pitch softball league and he will be humbled prettt quick.

Let him try out and make a fool of himself. Sometimes it's the only way.

Seems doable. Baseball players really aren't true athletes.

Encourage him to try out so you can watch him embarrass himself.

Sounds like something Uncle Rico would say.

I bet he can beat Michael Jordan one on one as well

Tebow is a world class athlete and had to start in A ball,

Hell he probably couldnt hack it in the 35+ red stick league much rest the regular red stick league or pro ball of any level

I wonder if he'll feel the same after getting hit with a 95 mph fastball bc his reaction time is too shitty to move out the way.

Take him to low-A tryouts.
Make video of him embarrassing himself.
Post on TD and enjoy the up votes.

As ridiculous as that is by itself, your friend needs to be aware that hitting is only one aspect of baseball.
Those guys in AAA haven't been fielding cabbage balls all these years.

Some of the best college players never make it out of AAA. Sounds like your friend is a moron.

Did some drunk shite talking one night saying i could hit 95 mph+ based on some work I did on 80 mph+ in the cage.
Turned out someone had their own cage at their house. 95 mph down the pipe is really fricking hard to get a piece of.
Your friend couldn't get a roster spot in the sugar cane league.

Never mind 95 mph with movement.
The typical eye can't even process that in time to get a bat around on it. That's why hitting a baseball is one of the most difficult things in sports to do.
