Bowling and curling


Bowling no way.

Curling I googled last week. Apparently men sweep harder which makes a big difference.

you say that like hitting .300 is "easy"

fewer people hit .300 in MLB than there are QBs in the NFL that have a 100+ QB rating every year.

I never said it was easy, but it also requires almost 0 athleticism. It’s simply a skill. It’s theoretically possible for a guy in a wheelchair to do it

Michelle Wie missed the cut by 1 at 14 years old.

I’m just saying that it’s probably the most comparable. Tennis, basketball, hockey, soccer, etc. aren’t even close.

Swimming was mentioned. Not running. My post provided data for running events.

What in the hell dude. You started out making at least the slightest bit of sense but now I think you're trolling. There is no universe where a guy in a wheelchair could hit .050, much less .300. Just stop already.

Yea just create a fictional person and give them "generational" hand eye coordination and. This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read.

literally already laid out how it could happen. There's a girl on the US women's rugby team that's 6'1 200 lbs, was on a volleyball scholarship before converting to rugby and sprints the same speed as an average MLBer(27 ft/s). You have a girl with that frame lifting consistently from age 12-25 and she'll be just as strong as your typical major leaguer. An equivalent male lifting seriously will obviously be stronger, but your average MLBer isn't putting in that much work in the weight room. Add in the generational hand-eye coordination and the athleticism gap is pretty much closed for baseball. Now add in their dad being a college level coach that is dedicated to developing their potential as a baseball player from t-ball age and you're cooking

There's more than a dozen women that have played in minor/developmental pro leagues around the world, yet baseball is the sport most difficult for them to play? Baseball has by far the lowest floor for athleticism requirements among the big 5 sports and someone handicapped could make it at 1st base if they can consistently hit .300

Might lead the league in HBP since he can’t get out of the way

Most normal people wouldn’t even want to stand in the batters box against Skenes much less hit 300.
