it has been done in the passed, Chili Davis, Devon White (both from jamaica and were born and raised playing cricket and were Excellent Low ball hitters) , Ian Pont was in the phillies minor league system back in the 80s, tons of aussies play in mlb currently.
my question is that if u had to any cricket player that can make an easy transistion and be good at it... who would it be?
here are my picks:
- Andrew Symonds - Australia (Power + Excellent Fielding)
- Adam Gilchrist - Australia (*note he was approached by the redsoxs several years back, but he opted not to)
- Brett Lee - Australia (Arizona Dbacks were interested in him)
- Lance Klusner - South Africa
- Chris Gayle - West Indies
- Sanath Jayasuria - Srilanka (Young Jayasuria though :D)
- Shahid Afridi - Pakistan (He would be Perfect, Tons of Power and NO feet Movement.
- Andrew Flintoff - England
- I dont know if u guys remember Ricardo Powell of Westindies, He used to hit massive sixes.

There is one current cricketer who has played Test matches for England and spent some time with the New York Mets baseball team, and that is the newly-appointed Middlesex captain, Ed Smith. He wrote a book about it.

Baseball fields are bigger that cricket fields but also the ball comes fast so the ball will go futher.
Out of the above players
Chris Gayle will be the best.

I'm not too sure about the batting conversion between cricket and baseball, but can tell you the Australian team were assisted in sliding/gather/throw techniques by an American baseball coach.

I have to say Shahid Afridi because of his ability and power. Afridi's bat stroke, control, and bat speed is amazing. He can make an easy transition because he is also defensively good (Outfield). However, he might strike out a lot because of his agressiveness.
