How many home runs could you hit in a full MLB season?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 1st, 2025 9:05 AM Author: Rodeo Lewis Assume:
-two years to practice with anyone you want
-torpedo bat
-you’ll lead the MLB in plate appearances, one more than the next highest guy
-won’t get injured
-paid the same salary as your current job won’t have to work.
-you’re entire purpose is to hit home runs, you can swing for the fences each at bat.
-the pitcher *might* catch on to what you’re doing and adjust with curveballs etc but not guaranteed.
Could you hit 20? |
Date: May 1st, 2025 9:15 AM Author: Billy Buttfucker If I have two years to practice and work out I’m sure this is feasible. I’d focus on just hitting fast balls and wait to face their closer, assuming I get up to bat in the 9th every third game that’s like 50 appearances against a guaranteed fast ball and I just need to jack 40% out of the park (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5719144&forum_id=2)#48895875) |

Date: May 1st, 2025 10:33 AM Author: Metal Up Your Ass No fucking way an xo poa is hitting 20.
Jimmy Rollins set record for PA with 778. Managing to hit .125 gets you 97 hits. No way 20 are going out.
Nobody would have the ability to hit balls out to the opposite field, and unlikely the power to go out to center. You'd only be able to pull the ball out, and I don't think an MLB pitcher is going to make enough mistakes middle-in that you could pounce on.
I'm capping the .1% result at 5. |
|
Date: May 1st, 2025 4:06 PM Author: Rodeo Lewis Rollins also strived to be one of the all around players. If he tried to just hit home runs he would probably have hit 40-50 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5719144&forum_id=2)#48896903) |
|
Date: May 1st, 2025 4:09 PM Author: Nazca Redlines MLB players aren't swinging for the fences every at bat, but you could, so a poa who played a little ball in high school, never mind college, could really do some damage.

Date: May 1st, 2025 7:57 PM Author: sealclubber yes, you can bench more than maddux so you'd hit more homeruns. i'll assume you are kidding and move on as an 18 year old at rookie ball, maddux goes 0 for 14 with 9 strikouts next year at a ball, 21 ab, 5 hits, 0 hr next year at aa and aaa, 25 ab, 5 hits, 1 hr then majors those ba are .000, .238, .200 he hits 5 hr in 1591 ab with a .171 ba as a major leaguer over 23 season |

Date: May 2nd, 2025 5:56 AM Author: Rodeo Lewis Maddux was a pitcher. Tell me you don’t know baseball without me telling you you don’t know baseball.
You’re basically even with maddux because he never practiced hitting. And he still got lucky here and there and hit a home run. Now imagine having two years of practicing ONLY hitting home runs, working out to hit home runs etc.
You’re proving my point. |

Even pitchers get lucky and they dont practice swinging at all. If a lawyer put in serious time in the years preceding, our odds are at least as good as a pitcher. |

Might take a year or two but I expect to dominate that too
At that point they might ask em to be a crossover star. I’ll probably turn down nfl (concussion risk) but all for nba. Think I could put up a 20 ppg avg after some practice |
