I used to outrun a lot of routine grounders in high school. Had to get with a private hitting coach to really shorten my follow through and how to get out of the box quickly. Resulted in a lot of doubles too. Would think some of the guys in the majors could do it more often, but the arms on the left side of the infield are often incredible with quick releases.

baseball takes the least skill out of any of the big sports (nba, nhl, nfl and mlb)

defending unless you're the pitcher = easy as fukk, anyone can do any position, yeah i said it :birdman:

just have to be a good batter and you're in the mlb :gladbron:

Gotta neg you for this. :beli:

Defending 3rd base is easy? Having range at SS? Hell, playing catcher? LOL.

phelps would lead the league in GIDP.

Kevin Love would have mad sac flies. (nhjic)

Kobayashi would eat innings, a straight workhorse on the mound.
