For example, to perfect a baseball swing, what does it take for the brain to reach the point where the person no longer needs to think about the action, and they just perform it automatically, or rather unconsciously?

Experience.
Your brain perfects a task to the point where it doesn’t need to expend any real thought to perform it. It essentially becomes autonomous.
A very similar example is how once we’ve learnt how to ride a bike, we can just ride a bike. We don’t have to actively ‘think’ about how to ride one.
