Superhero Baseball: What if the Batter Could Read Minds?

This article explores the concept of Superhero Baseball, focusing on what would happen if batters could read minds. The article introduces the premise of baseball players with superpowers who use their abilities safely. It explains how mind-reading would give batters a massive advantage by knowing what pitch is coming, allowing for perfect timing, better contact with the ball, fewer strikeouts, and strategic hitting. The batter could potentially hit over .400 for the season. However, other players could counter this ability with their own superpowers, such as pitchers who can block thoughts, think deceptively, or throw without conscious thought. Fielders could use teleportation, super-speed, or gravity control to counter well-hit balls. The game would become an intense mental chess match, testing strategy and mental strength alongside athletic ability.
