I told them to watch a MLB shortstop turning double plays and compare it to Pat.

You could be a pretty hardcore football fan and not understand what you're seeing. Because it's just not a movement that any football player will ever be taught. And by the time someone gets to college, either they can do that or they can't. You'll never be able to teach that sort of stuff on the fly, IMO.
But to pretty hardcore baseball fans, it stands out as obviously as a quality punch or something for guys who played OL in high school. You can't miss it, especially if you spent time on the middle infield.
