Jordan is a tough example to cite. He didn't play competitive baseball until be placed in the minors after many years of not playing ball. Had he been playing since high school. I'll bet there's a good chance he could have been a MLB baseball player.quote:Michael Jordan is an amazing athlete but didn't have the talent to hit a breaking ball. Having a vertical leap of 48" doesn't mean you can throw or hit a baseball well enough to play at a high level.
Then, of course there's the curve. It's why Danny Ainge ended up playing basketball over baseball. He couldn't hit the MLB curve.
