  1. I find baseball to be harder, could be bias but I think that baseball is pretty physically challenging, always moving, and must keep focus.

  2. Basketball is more taxing physically.
    Baseball is more difficult to make a comeback in. There's no turnover for baseball so they can score quicker. You just hope your pitcher can record 3 outs.

  3. It's great to see people still using videos us (Tennessee) when we were ranked number 1, and maybe the best record in ncaa baseball history.

  4. Good points of view.

    In my opinion If we talk only about sport without talking about the leagues (NBA or MLB), baseball is more difficult because it has more rules, more variables, more players and more ways to score or avoid scoring, in short it is more complex. A person who does not know any sport would understand more quickly playing basketball instead of baseball. Although playing well and reaching the highest level in both sports I would say that it is equally difficult, you have to be an elite athlete to be an average player and a prodigy to be a superstar.

  5. basketball also requires super quick high energy bursts along with the constant energy required. Way way more physically demanding in every way than baseball. Also old men dont play baseball because it cant be shrunk down and requires a massive field lol.

  6. Honestly depends on what you consider "hard." If you find more physically demanding work harder, then it would probably go to basketball just cuz of the cardio and they actually do push and bump each other around for position on the court. Not to mention, you kinda have to be lucky genetically to even really have a solid chance in basketball. But baseball, while it may not have as much cardio and physicality, the hand eye coordination and agility it takes to hit, field or even pitch is next level. However there is no like "body type" for baseball. You can be fat, throw gas and hit tanks like bartolo or you can be skinny and quick like ricky henderson and anywhere in between.

    I'll probably say baseball is harder just cuz the way you score points seems harder than it does in basketball. However i dont think theres a wrong answer to this question. It just depends on how you judge it.

  7. Basketball is more physically demanding of course. Baseball skill wise is significantly more demanding. It takes more years to be great at baseball than basketball. Baseball is more technical and takes more years to get good. There isnt a pro-baseball player who took up baseball at 18 and made it to the MLB. If you get a super athlete like Giannis or Erling Haaland to pick up baseball at 18 and have them train hard they wouldnt even make the Taiwanese or Mexican pro-league. In NBA while its not super common its not that rare either. Hakeem Olajuwan was 18 and Dikembe Motombo was already 20 when they started playing, not only that Hakeem despite starting at a later age he became a HOFer and considered one of the most skilled centers of all-time. That Dutch guy for the Pacers like it said in the video didnt start basketball until 22. Your as likely to find a camel with wings than you are to find a MLB player who started baseball at 18.

  8. So watching the playoffs this year I had a thought with all of these steals. Could a pitcher technically finish a game after throwing zero pitches by only throwing out baserunners?

  9. You can't practice baseball by yourself or automatically be considered a player if you're over 7 feet. On the other hand, you dont have to be an athlete to play baseball or in shape. Apples an oranges
