how do baseball players get to games so quickly?

Question

Wouldn’t they get tired after playing so many games, not to mention all the jet lag from flying around so much?

I mean…at most they’re only flying forward of backward 3 hours. I would not consider that nearly enough to really get jet lag in the first place.

Baseball is a relatively low intensity sport with a lot of unpredictability. In most cases, the players only need to really run for about 5-10 seconds every 2-3 minutes. Not to mention when your team is batting there is literally nothing for you to do but sit and rest in the dugout unless you’re batting or on base
