Reply to comment by BigTexasButters39 in Olivia Pichardo is the first woman to make the roster of Division I baseball team by AmethystOrator

Wrong sport to claim size is the reason. Altuve is smaller than a LOT of women. Baseball is one sport where size determines very little about their ability to play and excel at the game.

Yes but mens muscle mass and general strength is still going to be a barrier. Any guy playing MLB is a far far outlier in some way among men… I just don’t see how a woman could bridge that gap (maybe as a very weird specialist, like some soft tossing relief pitcher that has impeccable command and a weird trick pitch?)
