Q is amigo - if it doesn't show up in bases gained, running from 1B to 3B, or in running down batted balls, how does athleticism affect the scoreboard in baseball?
Not challenging this - just wondering. Not sure where 'athleticism' gets you in baseball, other than footspeed.
....
Hand-eye coordination (contact ability) could be captured under the umbrella of 'athleticism,' but I doubt that's what DiPoto meant by the term.
