Slo-pitch softball experience does not equal baseball experience.

Practically, two different sports.

If I was playing in a 300ft ballpark with a fat guy flipping a ball underhand to me, you bet your ass I would try to pull everything. Unfortunately, professional baseball is an entirely different beast. You cant even pull every pitch in batting practice w/ much success in beisbol.


Also, you seem to be basing your theory on the fact that pitchers don't pitch inside as much as they used to, for fear of beaning hitters. Trust me, if you're standing on top of the plate, the good pitchers will still pitch inside...and w/ no fear, b/c they know you cant handle that pitch. Also, if they hit you, it wont be viewed as intentional. Hell, some umps will probably not give you first base b/c they might think your hanging over the strike zone.
