To be fair, I think baseball is the one pro sport where you can be good, or even elite without being overly athletic. It's definitely more about the fine motor skills than pure athleticism. Football is probably 90% athletic ability and 10% skill(except for maybe QBs), while basketball(at the pro level) is maybe 60/40 in favor of athleticism. Baseball at the basic level (batting & pitching) is more like golf than football or basketball. All about fine motor skill & timing/rhythm.He's just gotta play himself into shape.
