This is why baseball players aren't athletes: Dmitri Young running

I have always given baseball players a hard time; they are not athletes, they're very specialized individuals with excellent coordination. However, out of all the major sports, baseball players are the least athletic of the bunch. This is evidenced by the speed (or lack thereof) of Washington's Dmitri Young. Check out the video to see the flash!

What a fata**!

"they're very specialized individuals with excellent coordination" sounds pretty athletic to me......looks like he is gettin round them fster then benji molina!

Baseball players aren't athletes??? While there are some exceptions (some pitchers/first basemen)...almost every player in the MLB is an athlete. Golfers aren't athletes, but there happens to be an exception with the most physically fit guy in the world...Tiger

a lot of them are fattys however, they can still run, dive, and catch a ball faster then you can say fatty!

Doesn't look like he's that much slower than a 340 pound lineman. He could probably beat Shaq in a foot race as well.

I can't think of anyone in the NHL he could beat so maybe they're the best but most baseball players are athletes. Hell, half of the outfielders in the MLB were college football players too.

On average I would argue that baseball players are the least athletic out of all the major sports
