Dipoto most likely meant simply speed and defense.   Baserunning, routes, zone judgement and timing/judging when to go on a pitcher/catcher are more mental and actually coachable (to varying degrees),unlike athleticism.

Hand-eye coordination is harder to pin down as merely athletic or how teachable it is.   It is definitely athletic but it seems to me kind of a blend of mental and physical.
