Which athlete adapts better when removed from their native environment?

That’s the real test.

Because athleticism is not just:

• force production
• sprint speed
• vertical jump

It’s:

• adaptability
• coordination
• timing
• spatial processing
• skill transfer

And in that category, baseball players may quietly dominate imo.
