Call the gender specialists! This one must actually be a boy!
Kidding. That's awesome.
i've always thought that girls/women could compete at all levels with the boys/men in baseball, at least as pitchers. while standout-success in hitting may, in the higher levels, ultimately be about brute strength, pitching relies on more finesse/deception elements like change of speed, pitch location, and arm angle that don't seem to favor one gender over the other.
plenty of former and current mlb pitchers don't throw all that hard, and plenty of top softball hurlers do. there's absolutely no reason to think that, given a real chance, women couldn't be successful as pitchers in the big leagues.
as per usual, i'm sure some part of my post is unintentionally offensive, but that's just my $0.02.
Not bothered at all enjoyed your post.
