The Problem With Baseball According to Pete Rose

I love my “aaron rodgers football”

Trying to hit that ball going 95 in .25 seconds is almost impossible The contact of the ball on the bat is smaller than a dime I’m tired of people saying baseball is easy

Except it is a million times harder than shooting a mfing baseketball

This is why it's amazing when a player is batting over .500 in the postseason. I remember Hideki Matsui batting over .600 in the '09 World Series with that Yankees team

What’s the OBP and slugAVG on those hall of famers tho? Hits aren’t the only thing that count in a batter’s career

A baseball moves faster. NFL player's receiving the pass can do a wide assortment of things to get to a pass that is a little short or wide rewarding the QB with a catch. basketball has ball that goes into a basket. The basket never changes, they are the same height off the floor all the time, the size of the basket never changes, you can use a backboard behind the basket to assist you in making shots. In baseball you have little twig stick. You have to hit a small ball. All the pitchers throw a different way, have different pitches and their goal is to get you out. Some pitchers have 5-6 pitches they can throw. If baseball allowed your own team to pitch to your own team players would have .600-.700 average.

Next we compare apples and oranges.

Which is proving how baseball is one of the hardest sports

batters make contact more often than their average would suggest

we also have 162 game nba has 82

That shows baseball is the hardest sport

“Aaron Rodgers football” Haven’t heard a Perc 30 called that before 😂

Baseball is by far the hardest sport to play that's why its still my favorite game.

RAGE BAIT OR LOW IQ, CALL IT🫵🫵🫵

I get his point but it is way easier to make a basketball or complete a pass then to hit a 100 mph baseball

Maybe because you have a millisecond to react to a pitch and to know now to swing or not

Counterpoint, batting average doesn't include walks or HBPs which are also good outcomes, and a .300 OBP is quite bad. If pure on base talent is your claim to fame, you really need to be around 4 out of 10 at your peak to be HOF, and that puts you on par with the success rate of a really good 3 point shooter in basketball. You're also elite in hockey if you have a sustained shooting percentage in the 20s.

if hitters get 3 out of 10, will get pitchers get 7/10. its all about perspective. Every sport is hard in their own way, and ultimately, you need the same amount of training and dedication in every sport to be a great.

Its not a problem. Its a testament to how difficult the sport is.

The Hall of Fame is not the gol of any real baseball player. Winning the Word Series is. Rose doesn't have a clue.
