Who’s the better athlete, baseball players or football players?
This was the debate today with a coworker who played D-1 football.
I say baseball players… although, athleticism has to be defined….
Discussion
yeah, depends on how “skill” is factored in.
just raw ability to move with power and speed. football hands down.
if skill counts for anything, baseball hands down
I don’t think that’s really a question that can be answered considering they’re 2 different sports that require different sets of skills.
Valid. I’m interested in which of those sports could said athletes perform well in other sports.
Baseball, 100%.
But football players are the modern day gladiators.
Neither of these sports require top end athleticism for the median player, but the most athletic AF position running back is more athletic than any baseball position. Really athletic sports have nobody who can play 20+ years at the top level.
