I've heard people speculate that hitters that are on the show circuit can have trouble with hitting off of sub par guys.  They send so much time getting geared up to to hit 90's with good breaking balls that junk is hard to hit.

100%. My kid is playing in a tournament this weekend and through 2 games he hasn't seen a pitcher that has topped 70 (he is used to seeing 80+).  He hasn't pounded a fair ball yet.  He has pulled some foul.  Definitely takes some adjusting.  Hence SOME of the success of Kyle Hendricks.
