The only way I could ever see it being remotely possible is an absolutely superb knuckleball pitcher in MLB. Zithers posted...

NBA - catch and shoot 3 specialist Youre giving up a ton of power and speed on defense. Your would basically be a 4-on-5 situation.

The_Popo 03/30/24 4:26:24 PM #33:	Zithers posted... i think you are underestimating how slow some baseball players are... good defense also isn't just pure speed, you need to take good routes and have good instincts with tracking groundballs in the infield or flyballs in the outfield. lots of guys who grade out as poor baserunners are elite defenders and vice versa. It isnt pure speed, sure. Mark Grace had a very sure glove despite horrendous speed. He also hit .300 year after year. He needed to being something additional to the game if he was going to be afforded a spot at a power position, despite never hitting more than 17 HRs in a season. And yes, late game defensive specialists are very much a thing. But those specialists are typically in the outfield (where speed is very much required) or 1B. I just cant imagine a woman being that good at fielding where a team would want to have her in a game, despite the other weaknesses that would come with her game. Zithers posted... plus teams will roster guys in the playoffs specifically for speed/defense, especially for pinch running situations late in games. terrence gore for example. If a speed freak like Billy Hamilton cant get a job purely as a pinch runner this year, I dont see how any woman could. --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran <cite>The_Popo posted [p:979646341] in Of the 4 m...

If a speed freak like Billy Hamilton cant get a job purely as a pinch runner this year, I dont see how any woman could. yeah mark grace was good. but i'm pretty sure a theoretical athletic woman could run faster than mark grace if he got on base in the 9th inning in a tie game. billy hamilton used to also be very good at defense, but he isn't anymore. probably cuz he's slowed down and why he is unemployed. and i did clarify glove/speed specialist not just speed. anyway aaron judge and nolan jones and juan soto and max kepler and joey gallo have recorded +5 OAA seasons in the outfield despite not being speedsters. obviously she would be the very last spot on the roster for a playoff team but to be so adamant that it is completely out of the question is a bit lol --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m02lct2g9l1qdlvg6o1_500.gif https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1283-quality-cinema-club <cite>Zithers posted [p:979646541] in Of the 4 m...

Kuuko 03/30/24 5:42:20 PM #38:	There are some sports where women are disproportionately represented at high levels. Mostly sports that are very high-endurance, which are necessarily also very high mental fortitude, like ultra marathon running and marathon swimming.
