You can use any color you want, but your basic assumption quoted above is your problem. I can see from the picture of your physique in your avatar that speed and power have not been good to you - but that does not mean others could not benefit from it!!! The limiting factors in being able to catch, throw and hit, have absolutely nothing to do with acceleration, speed and for the most part, power.Well not sure what school you attended but reading clearly was obviously not part of the curriculum - I stated the ATHLETIC LIMITING FACTORS / NOT THE TECHNICAL SKILL FACTORS were and always will be POWER As I’ve said, these athletic qualities improve the athletes ability to the these things, but they are NOT the limiting factors in developing a sound ballplayer. A PLAYER LACKING ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT WOULD NOT BE SOUND BALL PLAYER
Real world example. THIS WOULD NOT BE A REAL WORLD EXAMPLE As if you had a club and I had a club and we trained them with different methods and then competed - that would be a 'REAL WORLD EXAMPLE’Go into any D-1 football fieldhouse and get the strongest, fastest, most powerful atheltes you can find. Choose those that haven’t played baseball since little league. WHO WOULD DO THAT OR SUGGEST THAT A COACH NOT DEVELOP SKILLSHave them play a descent high school baseball team and watch them get dismantled.IM SURE YOUR SKILLED BASEBALL PLAYERS WOULD GET WORKED ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD AS WELL! SO WHO CARES! It will be embarrassing. All that speed, power and athletic prowess will get them nowhere. What does this tell you about the limiting factors in baseball?
It tells me you know very little about the sport - that’s what it tells me!!
It’s just a matter of physics - to swing a bat -throw a ball - play defense - run the bases takes a certain level of performance which requires some athletic ability - and the better it is the better the performance! Not to mention injury prevention!!!
