[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My average coordination kid picked up baseball for the very first time in 6th grade, now is playing travel ball in 9th grade. Baseball seemed pretty easy to pick up, actually. But it seemed like overall the 'baseball kids' were less naturally athletic then the soccer/basketball/football kids we knew, so maybe it just seems that way to baseball dads? [/quote]

This is true, and baseball is easily picked up by naturally athletic people. Michael Jordan and Tim Tebow went and joined professional baseball teams well past their prime. There are also quite a few interviews of MLB players that go something like "well I didn't get to start on my college football team so I went back to baseball and now here I am playing for the Braves!"[/quote]

This is so NOT true.  Both MJ and Tim Tebow couldn't make it into the Major League MLB, both of them stuck in the AA or AAA leagues.  I wouldn't call baseball AA or AAA professional teams, more like a sweat shop.

Any sports, including baseball, take years to develop, even for elite athletes.[/quote]
