My point is you don't have to be super athletic.

Are the majority of mlb players, sure.

I don't think you appreciate the skill of hitting a baseball. Babe Ruth would hit today.

I just don't see how anyone can be so confident. He never saw pitching 1/10th as good as today's pitching.

I don't think you can just say "well, he'd hit any pitching", there's really no basis for that. He spent his entire life hitting much slower pitching, pitchers with 2 pitches, pitchers pitching wayyyyy more innings and thus not really at full strength. It's just so unlikely that you could drop him into today's game and expect anything at all from him.
