There's a lot of cardiac arrest in basketball (94% of the youth deaths in basketball are attributed to sudden cardiac death), due to undiagnosed heart conditions. After that there's football with traumatic brain injury, exertional heat stroke, and exertional sickling. These latter 2 being a direct result of overtraining/practicing that isn't seen in other sports. Baseball is due to freak accidents with high speed balls etc.
