Edit: Mookie Betts scored off the charts in his ability to discern pitches using a neuroscience based graphic interface. It tested hand eye coordination and he excelled at that too. The Red Sox saw a huge upside to his brain's ability to make the right decisions in baseball. His lowest WAR for them was 5.4 or something.
This was close to a decade ago though, in 2011. I wonder how neuroscience has progressed in baseball, too.
