With good training, coaching and practice, you can get pretty good in many, if not most sports, even to a recruitable level. But elite D1 and pro level athletes almost always have some significant physical advantage. Crossing paths with various college softball teams at the airport, the players are pretty Amazonian. When S went to an academic showcase, he was one of the top pitchers throwing in the mid 80’s. At 5’10" 150, he was avg sized. The next week at the Stanford camp, the top pitchers were in the 90’s and you had kids 6’ 180+ lbs playing middle infield. Different ball game.
