It’s the best game for sure. Baseball at the highest competitive level suffers visually in that when you play it really well it looks easy, and so when you fail at it, it looks like complete unskilled garbage. Most people have no idea what it takes to throw firmly and accurately to a target 90+ feet away, much less what a thrown baseball looks like at 95+ mph possibly coming at your neck.

One thing ....... the pitcher DOES NOT THROW 90 feet at all.

The distance is 60 feet 6 inches.

I'm sure a lot of batters would like the pitchers to back up a little. Some of those long-armed pitchers look like they are right on top of you.
