I think it's logical to assume that deflecting a puck with a flat stick is easier than making square contact between a round ball and a rounded bat, especially when said ball is not traveling in a straight line.
You're right that I have no experience playing hockey, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the person taking the shot be trying to place it in the easiest spot for a deflection? In baseball, the pitcher is trying to place every pitch in a specific spot where the hitter won't be able to hit it.
The hitter also has no idea what type of pitch is going to be thrown. It could be a 95mph fastball, it could be a 90mph slider or cutter which can break over a foot, it could be an 85mph curveball which can also break over a foot, or it could be a changeup that looks exactly like a fastball, but is often 10mph or more slower. They need to react to this in about .2 seconds, swing a bat, and hit the ball squarely in the center of it in order to make solid contact. They also need to judge what type of pitch it is in that time by picking up the rotation of the seams on the ball.
It's a bit more complicated than "standing there swinging a bat." |
so "let's assume" that throwing an object is much more accurate than hitting it with a stick so it goes where you want it to go so another guy with a stick can deflect it somewhere else.
even girls win prizes at throwing things at carnivals.
