I don't think there is any question that basketball is consistently more demanding. However, you really have to look at the peaks more than the valleys and baseball can offer some peaks. Going out to cover on a close catch/no-catch can mean a good 40 yard sprint. Not too shabby.
Of course, you can go through a baseball game and not run at all, but since you have to be ready for the most it still demands some physical abilities.
