Is there a way i can tell if wether or not i can hit? would sessions at batting cages determine that?

There are tryouts all the time by major league clubs. Your speed means nothing unless you have other assets (see hitting a baseball). Ricky Henderson still could steal bases when he retired, and he's old. Like I mentioned, there's kids who hit bottle caps all day, and they also are quite fast. Good luck.

Seriously, dude. If you have to ask questions like this I wonder what chance you have.

Have you played college, high school, Babe Ruth?

I agree.

This is painful to read.

With skin this thin I'm sure you'd be hard pressed to wither the inevitable criticism you'll receive from any endeavor, much less one as potentially harsh as professional sports.

Better stick to deluding yourself whilst living in your parents basement.

Guess I'm a Seagull?

The funny thing is I answered more seriously than the question deserved.

I also said High School and Babe Ruth.

I was going to say Pee Wee, but I restrained myself.

how old are you exactly? To have any chance of playing pro ball you probably need to be in your early 20s. Also, do you have any baseball experience at all? From my experience, I have never heard of a bunt specialist on a baseball team. You are going to need to learn how to hit. In the major leagues, a .300 hitter is considered very good. That means that on average you get 3 hits out of every 10 at bats.
