Nolan Ryan gave up 321 home runs and 3923 hits in his career. *You* might not be able to hit his fastball, but plenty of his peers could. Setting up the batter to expect a different pitch from the one actually being thrown is a substantial part of the art of pitching.

Interestingly,I am pretty sure Nolan Ryan's rookie year was '68. Also, I believe he has one of the lowest batting averages against a pitcher. So, from the metrics of baseball...

The point was that most of what we do is playing the percentages.
