I would say they're not very comparable. By the time a shot is taken you pretty much have to already be moving. Meaning it's more than just hand eye coordination. More often the not, you have to make the right guess and have a little luck. I'd say hitting a fastball is a harder skill, but it's more likely to happen than stopping a penalty shot.

I agree that it's not really comparable.
They both require skill, but they also require a decent amount of "luck."
With a PK, you have to guess the right side, or your SOL. Then you still have to read high or low, and try to parry it wide or catch it. But getting the side correct is 75% of it.
With a fastball, if it's an inch higher or lower, you'll miss, but as long as you have the bat going through the same zone as the pitch, you'll hit it decent ways, just by physics alone.
