Weaknesses of the Heat as a baseball team:
Pitching: No one has pitched in years if ever. Velocity of pitchers is unlikely to exceed the average high schooler and the NBA pitcher probably will serve up nothing but fastballs and be fairly erratic in the strike zone.

Fielding: Catcher is likely to mishandle many pitches and will be extremely easy to steal on. Fielding ground balls should present quite a challenge.

Hitting: Strike zone is huge and skill level of hitters will be low. The only hitters with high school baseball experience can simply be walked.

An NBA team with a great ex-high school strikeout pitcher could possibly win if the pitcher was especially overpowering but it looks as if the high school team should be a clear favorite to demolish the NBA team.
