Except 99% of the time there’s nothing done by the other people. The vast majority of baseball is waiting for the pitcher and catcher to decide what to throw, most of the time the batter doesn’t touch it, and often even when they do touch it the play ends in just a couple more seconds (foul, caught and out) with not much happening.
The average NFL play takes 8 seconds and 22 players all do something. The average MLB play takes under 2 seconds, and 3 guys do something (although there’s a good chance one of those guys just watch the ball go by). Baseball has its beauty, but that beauty is not in the action.
