I promise it's easy enough for a world class athlete to throw a fastball for strikes.

A 6'7" super strong and coordinated guy is gonna have no problem shutting down high school hitters.

Why isn't he a pitcher instead of a basketball player then? There's no way it's "easy" for a NBA player to throw a 90 MPH fastball for strikes. Baseball has a completely different skill set than most sports. I wouldn't be surprised if most NBA players couldn't throw a baseball 75 MPH, since they don't know the proper mechanics.

I haven't decided which side of this argument I fall on; I'm leaning toward the baseball team though.
