Baseball is a mostly combination of reflexes, vision, hand to eye coordination, technique and mental toughness. Athleticism is useless without mastering those other attributes. I don't care how big, fast and agile a guy is. None of that helps you block out the thought of taking a fastball in the earhole, gives you the courage to take a screaming one hopper in the chest at shorstop or the calm demeanor to get the ball over the plate with a 3-0 count, bases loaded and the winning run on 3rd.

None of this has anything to do with who's the biggest, the fastest or the strongest. It has nothing to do with whether it would be harder for anyone from one sport to play another sport. It's about what's harder to do for any one person.
If you take one guy of any athletic ability, it's going to be harder for him to develop the skill of hitting a baseball than it is to do anything in football or basketball.
It was harder for Michael Jordon.
It was harder for me.
What are people not understanding?
