Re: MLB Off-Topic
For baserunners I'd just do a fastest runner comp. You have to sprint from home to 1B to 2B to 3B to home.
Contact hitters I'd do a consecutive hit game. Just a pitching machine shooting out fastballs over and over again and your job is to have the longest consecutive hit streak (you don't need to swing at each pitch, you just can't swing and miss or get a foul or your turn is done).
Fielders I'd do a combined team fielding drill. Each OF needs to make a catch and throw it to a base with the fielders foot on the bag or else the throw is considered off target (LF throws to 3B, CF to 2B, RF to 1B). 3B needs to get a ground ball and throw to 1B, again with 1B foot on bag. Ss needs to get a grounded and flip to 2B who throws to 1B. Then 1B needs to catch a line drive. Catcher finishes it off by throwing to 2B.
Pitchers this 100% would never happen (or would it? NHL has hardest shot comp which has been a staple and big name hard shooters do want to compete), but a hardest pitch comp would be cool.
I'd also have accuracy comp for pitchers. Similar to NHLs accuracy shooting skills comp, except baseball is harder since you're given a square (or rectangle) and have to hit each of the 9 sections in the strike zone. Imagine a guy going a perfect 9 for 9. This one sounds realistic since you don't need to throw fast pitches, you could lob it in at a slower speed.
