It takes skill to hit a home run. you have less than a second to decide where the ball is going and where your bat needs to be to get the ball on the sweet spot..

its also coming at you at up to 95 mph, and keep in mind this ball will probably have a curve and a spin to it to fool you into thinking its going somewhere else.

last but not least, you have to swing a wooden bat that weighs 3,4,5 lbs fast enough to give the ball enough opposite force to get out. that is where your power comes in.

all of this in less than a second? this is why not everyone hits homers
