I've played men's FP from age 13 until age 30. In between one year baseball. I still can hit a softball, but got one season long 3K in BB.
It's not only (extraordinary) reflexes, more what one is gotten used to. Having the pitch coming down from shoulder height or getting up/staying at belly-heigt...
A danish pitcher, who was in our team somewhere in the 90's, had a riser I couldn't catch. In the last five years I've faced him as a PU, still missed that pitch every time! Now he knows: When I'm the PU, he doesn't want or expect that pitch be called a strike by me...
I've never done the math for compairing BB and men's FP; I've always liked SB better than BB...
