What they used to say about Dalkowski was that 'it's a good thing he's wild vertically, else there'd be dead folks where ever he pitched.'
When I was young and moderately fast (85ish) I would always worry about hitting someone, which I wound up doing only once, but I broke both of his hands. I'm glad no one every asked me to 'head-hunt' or purpose.
Even if you don't have to worry about having your life on the line, most folks who know say that hitting a Major League pitch is the most difficult thing to do in any sport.
I always thought it was being able to concentrate through all of Maria Sharapova's moans.
