Avr mlb fastball is 86, tennis serves are 130. I play both at pretty lofty levels. Tennis is an international game, baseball is played only in SE and Western USA and some banana republics. There is 1200 American baseball jobs of people making 6 figures there is only about 30 in Tennis. Reason is Tennis is not easy.
I love the major sports, but both golf and tennis are harder to play than baseball, hockey or basketball. Football might be harder only because of the punishment your body goes through, but in terms of skill you have to have to play the game it is also an easier sport to play and be good at.
From my experience of playing all the above sports tennis is the hardest, followed by golf. You just don't understand how difficult those sports are until you try and play them at a high level.

That's like saying the hardest thing to do in sports is to hit a golf ball like Tiger Woods or throw a football like Peyton Manning. The saying means that hitting a baseball is the hardest basic objective in any sport. Whether it is true or not is debatable, but you can't compare it to playing tennis at the highest level possible because then you could just say playing any sport at its highest level is the hardest thing to do.
