Yeah the masses really underestimate the extreme difficulty of baseball. You need elite eye-hand-body movement coordination, and extremely quick reflexes,deceptive speed to steal basisand avoid getting tagged. and lightning quick-smart decision making. Of course for the pitchers, strong arm stamina and power. And pitchers throwing 90-110mph heat aint easy for the pitcher to pitch, and for the hitters to slam that into deep left field. I hate when nikkas be like, hey Bartolo Colon and Pablo Sandoval are both fat as hell and are in the MLB, so any nikka can be there...naw son.
Not to mention hitters have to guess the pitches really right and really quickly, and develop a sixth sense and patience to work the count and tire the pitcher, as a way to be an offensive force. Aint no joke.
