I can choose the pitcher?

Wakefield, or maybe any other knuckleball pitcher.

I'd most likely go down swinging on 3 pitches, but I'd only have a chance on a pitch under about 70MPH so a knuckleballer would be about it.

I took a few rounds in a 90+ batting cage once. 40 pitches and finally just barely touched one. Enough to hear but not enough to even deflect the ball.
All I could see was the ball leaving the machine, a white flash about halfway then heard the thump as it hit the pads.

That gave me a whole different outlook on the guys batting .125 or whatever. And an even different outlook on the better hitters.
