word wrote:Probably football, than baseball, i don't get why people say baseball is that tough. The fact that you say proffesionals only hit about .250 as their batting average is NOT a good argument that makes this sport hard. You can't be comparing Batting averages to field goal %, a logical person wouldn't be comparing how hard a sport is with those statistics. Honestly there are plenty of baseball players probably in single or double A that can hit a homerun or hit for a good average against a major league pitcher right now.
Actually, Double A hitters and Single A hitters couldn't sniff a major league pitcher. The velocity, the aerodynamics of each pitch, and the precision with which both hitters and pitchers are working with makes baseball a VERY tough sport to play at any high level.
The fact is, precision is not something anyone is born with, you acquire it through practice and by increasing certain abilities. Hence, it's a skill that is acquired. That's why, as some have said, you don't see the average baseball prospect join the big league team until they're in their mid-20's, and you don't usually see a baseball hit their prime until they're in their late 20's to early 30's.
Some baseball players are superb hitters and godly athletes, and some are very, very skilled at their specialty on the field.
The best analogy for the skill level required in baseball would be taking some joe and telling him to play darts. No one is naturally good at darts. You become good to great as you refine your precision skills. Same thing with baseball.
That said, here's my list:
