Somewhere below the first red line is when Bonds reacted to McGwire and Sosa eclipsing him (due to test supplementation) and joined in on it. This is better evidence than any possible study because all actors have skin in the game. No MLB hitter ever chose to suppress test 2/2

All baseball players have skin in the game of hitting baseballs, which we agree draws on some mental abilities (reaction time at the very least!). Not obvious that the thing Jensen means by "visuospatial" (which is what I meant in my Tweet about T) is a large component in hitting

It's an interesting question - what exactly is the mental trait involved in hitting a baseball? Needs reaction time, fast pattern recognition to recognize pitches, etc. Benefits from more T. Also seems to be a rare mental trait that doesn't show ability gaps between races.
