Sport Difficulty Question

So my coworker asked a question today and wanted to get some other ppls opinions.

So he raised the argument that it would be easier to catch a football in a NFL setting vs getting a hit in a MLB setting.

There’s some gray area like: Are we saying we specifically need to get a hit on the ball and get to a base or are we just making contact. Football would you need to catch and run X amount of yards or just keep control if you go down. So i think that making the distinction between those criteria’s makes the choice easier but curious to what other ppl would say.

There are 3 different ways we’ve come up with to play this scenario:

1 : 1v1 – You and the pitcher only and you and the QB only.

2 : 3 v 3 – You, pitcher and 1 man in fielding position. You, Qb & a cornerback

3 : Full team vs Full team.
