Baseball is not just about hitting hard or pitching as fast as possible. The batsmen doesnt always hit the ball as hard as possible he has to be smart to get a hit other wise he would be out 9 out of 10 times. A pitcher pitches not just fastball but curveball, knuckleball, slow ball, slider, split-fingered fastball, changeup, forkball etc. There are strategies like where to put the fielders, when to steal the bases etc. Also even the lesser known teams average atleast 10-15,000 fans and the stadium capacity in the MLB is about 40,000 and there are 160 games not counting playoffs with half of them home so they do make lot of money.
