Brad Hawpe, Baseball Genius
In Jayson Stark's ESPN column on Colorado's Game 1 win over Arizona, he spends a few paragraphs going on about Brad Hawpe's amazing ability to hit Brandon Webb, based on his 2007 record against him of 11/17 with 13 RBIs. After interviewing other Rockies about Hawpe's dominance and even suggesting that Hawpe should make a "How to Hit Brandon Webb" video, he finally interviews Hawpe himself, who says:
"Aw, he's tough ... and it's just a small handful of at-bats. It's not like it's 500 ABs or something."
And with that, Hawpe has displayed more baseball knowledge than the majority of players, managers, columnists, and fantasy baseball enthusiasts.

But
I mostly agree
I doubt that it is a specific skill but it's pretty amazing nonetheless.
