The HS team would destroy the NBA team without question. Even if the NBA team has a guy that can throw strikes, if the HS guys can put the ball in play they are rarely going to be thrown out. Also the best pitcher at a large highschool will have at least a reasonable breaking ball which would be extremely hard for the NBA guys to hit. I played baseball at a large high school and I can not imagine a team of any athletes with no baseball experience being able to beat us on 3 days of practice. Baseball is not nearly as much about athleticism as it is about mechanics. Think about guys like Cecil Fielder, David Wells, and John Kruk. I don't think their athleticism got them to the Major League.

I don't disagree with your post.

But in high school, Cecil Fielder was actually all-state in football and basketball.

Hitting a round ball with a round bat is one of the hardest things to do in all of sports.
