There are a number of parts to this answer.1 - It's a game of co-ordination, so any injury that can slow reaction time makes it More difficult to play properly.
2 - For hitting, a player needs to have strong hands, wrists and forearms, or he can't swing the bat properly or check his swing.
3 - For hitting, a player needs a strong foundation, AKA leg. A leg injury of any type doesn't allow the player to drive the ball
4 - The motions of pitching are unnatural and can all-too easily cause severe damage to a shoulder or elbow, such as torn rotator cuffs or torn elbow ligaments. Lesser arm injuries also occur.
5 - Pitchers are as much in need of strong legs as are hitter, both so that they can drive the ball and absorb the energy of their follow-through
6 - Baseball in general is a game in which every player, on every play, goes from no motion to explosive motion for every play. The sudden starts and stops, as any kinesthiologist will tell you, are fraught with danger for all soft tissues.
And, yes, as one person mentioned, bseball is played every day, or just about every day, throughout the season. To be specific, the regular season itself is 162 games, played over a total of 182 days. Those 20 off days are all-too frequently spent in part on planes and buses, while trveling to another city. That's after a month of spring training games (about another 30). For the best teams, there's anywhere from another 11 -19 games to be played. There simply isn't the down time in baseball that is built into other sports schedules, down time that allows the body to rest and recuperate from any given game.
There are many sports that can be played with a broken arm, hand or finger, but they tend to be sports of brute strength, such as football or are played with so much padding that it simply doesn't matter, such as hockey, but baseball simply isn't one of them.
Because baseball is sooooooo physical.
