The Hand eye coordination and flexibility of baseball players is just :gucci:
I mean all pro athletes are skilled like crazy. I just think that there are sports where the skill is underappreciated. Baseball is one of them.

Herein lies the problem when speaking about athleticism, folks tend to forget about aerobic capacity. The NBA players that lack in jumping ability, tend to make up for it with their aerobic conditioning, in order to survive and/or excel at that level. That goes for NFL players too, who're in skill positions, you can't really exist without a high-degree of some sort of athleticism.

Sports like baseball and golf are where skills are paramount without the need of athleticism, in its highest concentration, and even then you could argue that balance/co-ordination is a branch of athleticism too.

Its hard to call someone unathletic from the couch. Look at Peyton Manning....

One of the best ever, but it would appear dude didn't have an ounce of athleticism. But compared to the average person he's a beast.

6'5 and runs a sub 5 in the 40, but to the average viewer hes a slow ass white dude with a big ass head. I remember seeing dude's workout regime and the average person would die trying to finish his daily routine, it was insane how much he actually did. shyt just think about how difficult it is to throw a football 40 times a game at NFL velocity while getting hit and the amount of arm strength and stamina it takes. My arm would fall off.
