Tolerably well for minor league, but remember that his father had envisioned him as a major league baseball player, so presumably he'd practiced and done well at the sport when he was younger. There are probably selection effects on Michael Jordan in particular to be good at baseball out of the set of NBA players; most never try to transition to baseball at all.
