Put a baseball player on a bike, tell him to ride up a mountain in the Tour de France and see how much he struggles.

No, I don't want the baseball player to call me gay for suggesting that.

A bit anecdotal as at least I would wager most baseball players can ride a bike, not elite but at least ride it. Now do you think a higher percentage of MLB players can ride a bike or Tour de France riders hit off a 65 MPH pitching machine? Same goes for NBA players vs MLB players hitting FT's or layups? NFL players vs MLB players throwing or catching a football? There are definitely athletes who can do it all, but most professional athletes struggle hitting off a 65 MPH machine throwing flat, that isn't even accounting for breaking pitches or 80+ fastballs with movement. Hitting D1 and higher (even elite HS) pitching is one of, if not the most difficult athletic feats there is.

While I will admit that the riders in the Tour de France are some absolute cardiovascular freaks, I believe a baseball player could ride up the mountain, it might take a while but I believe they could do it. A Tour de France rider wouldn't come close to getting a hit against an elite college or high school pitcher much less an MLB pro.

Take a bike rider, give him a bat, and tell him to hit 100mph with movement and see how mich he struggles

Why don’t we have the average MLB player face off against Magnus Carlsen in chess while we are at it?

You think baseball players, who are regular people who were once children, would look similar riding a bike than CJ Stroud throwing a baseball?
wtf.....they can ride bikes lol.
I will always venture that the average white dude is a better all around athlete than most people.....Sure, he may not dominate any one sport, but give him any ball, he can throw it appropriately with out disappointing is father. Throw him a ball, he'll catch it. Give him a stick, he'll swing it properly. Running around in fields/neighborhoods playing a different sport every day trained em.
