All sports require physical skills and associated mental acuity. When you observe the very few who play for a long time it is often their brain which impresses the most. Mental fatigue is often a factor in many poor performances. Baseball in particular is mentally and physically demanding due to the schedule. Playing 162 games in 180 days is a unique challenge. It would not surprise me to find that many highly gifted players fail simply because they are unable to sustain the necessary focus. Physical prowess can get you there. More is needed to keep you at the highest level.
