I see precisely what you are saying. How can you infer that baseball doesn't require as much athleticism based on something like how tired you feel at the end of the game or whatever your original reply covered. How many games do most major league baseball players have to play a week anyway? What about daily practices and weight training?

If that's not what you're saying, what is the basis for your conclusion? What are you measuring? I say baseball require more athleticism than basketball because it requires nine active players per team vs. five!

You can't begin to compare a pitcher to a soccer midfielder, or to a shortstop, center fielder or any other position. If anybody thinks the OF in baseball is a piece of cake, woo boy...

If you are going to say baseball on the whole requires less athleticism than other sports, I expect you to back it up.
