first of all, no.. that's not "all you were saying" in fact you were saying something totally different.

in addition to that:

Soccer players are under physical pressure ontop of mental pressure (unlike a pitcher who'll use the same windup over and over again because he has all the time he needs to do exactly that), they do most of their passes in full speed and they use their feet instead of their hand, which makes it harder to aim precisely to begin with. Yet most pros can probably hit the aluminium 4 out of 5 times from 16-20m away.
And even if they can't, because not all baseball players can pitch or hit properly either, they know how to play soccer tactically. That's something you don't actually see from "watching" football, because the cameras don't allow you to appreciate the exact positioning and timings.

You know... "counter attacking" is not as broad as the word suggest, when a situation like that arises, it "clicks" in every single one of their heads and player A knows what B should be doing and C will open up space for D and E so that B can make use of that if he needs to etc..

Same applies to Baseball. The fielders probably know where they should position themselves and how likely it is for the ball to go either infield or outfield and so on.

and to come back to your previous post, baseball pitches aren't slow either, they reach up to ~150kmh... Do you even realise how much time they have to swing if someone throws that fast? The mound is ~14m away or something. 150kmh is ~41m/s, which means they have 1/3 of a second to react, aim, swing and hit. I never played baseball myself but it's probably so fast that they start the swinging motion before the ball left the pitcher's hand if they expect a fastball and adjust it mid-swing.

Just take a look at the big windup they do while throwing pitches and the huge step they take when throwing it and then consider the accuracy they actually have with all that going on.
