BS”D
I don’t like the question.
Every activity has a Torahdik way of doing it, and a non-Torahdik way.
Baseball can be played like the boys in Yeshiva Darchei Torah and the famous “shaya” story, or it can be played like a vilde Chaya.
Every action that a person does can be learned from, and be used to become closer to Hashem.
One does not become a Ba’al Middos by locking themselves up in a room and not knowing what a basketball is, but by saying “hike” to the American who asks for a Brocha to make a special connection (like Rav Sheinburg ZTL), or letting the special needs child hit a home run.
