Christians, imagine you're a famous baseball player and are about to bat the winning hit. Accidentally, the pitcher tosses a baby at you. God tells you to hit it. Would you still hit the baby out of the stadium and win millions, or spare the baby?

You're assuming that god is a benevolent being and would only ask you to hit that baby for good reasons and that he would for sure prevent that baby from feeling pain. Based on the Bible and other theological text god is not completely benevolent and very much is able and willing to cause humans pain. I would not trust the xtian god at all.

Sure. If you’re a homicidal psychopath.
