A lot of that has to do with the locker room environment. Sure it would be almost impossible for women to compete with men in football, basketball, etc., but I see no reason why they couldn't excel in baseball. You don't need a lot of strength or endurance. Height isn't an issue. Only need to be able to run 90 feet.

My brother plays college baseball, and if you saw what baseball players are truly capable of, you would change your tune.
I'm not sure you realize how far these guys can throw. My brother can throw the length of a football field nearly on a rope.
And you just think they don't need a lot of strength. Even the weakest players are stronger than 99% of women. Even the guys who hit base hits for average are strong.
My brother isn't considered strong, and he is a guy who hits for average with not a lot of power. He is 6'0", 180 pounds and benches 270. Women cannot compete with that.
And a player like that is usually fast. Women generally aren't as fast as men.
Are women going to be strong and quick enough to turn and gun someone out on a double play? Throw it home from the outfield?
You greatly underestimate baseball player's abilities.
