It's the most skilled athletic sport in the world, and is the most difficult to make it in professionally.
You can't possibly think baseball has the best athletes. Basketball? They are all giants that run like gazelles, jump out the gym, and most have beyond great coordination
And professional how? Make it to "the show" or just professional? I can easily argue both, you can play rookie ball in Missoula, MT or Ogden, UT and be a pro...thousands and thousands and thousands have done that. I think it's harder to make the NBA than have a cup of tea with the MLB.

I'm sure he's referring to making a major league roster. And a lot if people say baseball is the most difficult sport. Not the most athletic, but most difficult. It takes unbelievable reflexes and coordination to hit a baseball.

he didn't say the "best" athletes, he said the most skilled. if you played the sport at a high level you would know this. it takes YEARS to become resonabaly proficient in the skill sets of playing baseball. the eye to hand coordination required to be really good in baseball is something few have. most people can't even foul off an 80 mph fastball much less a 95mph one or a curve ball or a slider, etc. and i also agree with the op when he says baseball is the hardest to make it in the bigs. the nba is tough too but easier.
