Average high school baseball teams pretty much suck. I think there's a good chance that someone on the basketball team will have a 90+ mph fastball, and that alone is enough to shut out an average HS baseball team.

90 MPH means nothing when it never gets near the strike zone.

Anyway, it's gotta be the HS team, and I don't really think it's close. If you've ever seen one of those ESPN specials where athletes from, say, the NFL, compete in other sports-related contests, the majority suck at hitting a baseball. And that's batting practice, even the 4th pitcher on an average high school team has much better stuff than that.

Also, other people have mentioned it, but the skills required to excel at baseball aren't as correlated with raw athleticism as they are in the NBA or NFL. When a guy becomes fat in the NBA, he becomes a laughingstock. When a guy becomes fat in the majors, it has relatively less effect as long as he can still hit the ball out of the park (John Kruk, Babe Ruth, probably Ryan Howard in 10 years).
