Default Baseball today vs decades ago

Seeing plays like this on a fairly regular basis, I don't know how anyone can seriously argue that level of play in the 1940s, 50s, or even 60s was anything remotely close to what we see today. The speed of the batter. The throw by Elly. I mean some of this stuff looks like computer game craziness. Yes, the guys today can't bunt, can't hit and run, and are not steeped in strategy, but the level of speed, strength, sheer explosive athleticism to me seems off the charts.
