>>> A real good experienced hitter will hit changes, curves and sliders that hang (stay up in the strike zone). If they are quality pitches, Barry Bonds won't hit them. That is why he and all the other great hitters fail 70% of the time.<<<

Hi Doug

Good point, and the fail rate is even higher when you look at the number of hits to the number of swings taken. Many balls in an AB will be fouled off or missed completely. The fail rate for swings taken may exceed 90%.
