Probably the greatest hitter of all time Ted Williams said hitting a baseball was the hardest thing there is to do in sports. He would be asked how he was so good at it and he would say he practiced all the time and still missed more than 60% of the pitches.

Yup, baseball is a game of failure, at least for hitting. You are doing really good if you manage to do it 3 times out of 10, in the modern era only a handful have even approached 4 out of 10, with one surpassing it. No one has ever done it half the time.
