Thanks to everyone who has replied. Good information as usual.

My preference is X-T5 because I intend to keep X-T2 as second body. Similar ergonomics. Also, it's $800 cheaper than X-H2S. If X-H2S AF is more reliable, I would get X-H2S. Reliable tracking of the head should be sufficient. The baseball players have helmet and I don't expect the camera able to track eye.

If money, size and weight are no object, I would go back to Canon. I have considered that but changing system is too expensive. Carrying the weight of full-frame gear is too much as well.

I usually start shooting in the beginning of the game. Once I think I got a few good photos, I will put the camera down and enjoy watching the game. With the X-T2, sometimes I came back from the game and the shots I thought were in focus were not.

Having said all that, I may be happy with any of the latest generation AF. I have already lived with the X-T2 for so long and any upgrade would have significant AF improvement.

If sports is your primary target then I'd go X-H2s, but maybe X-T5 will be sufficient. You'll just have to try out both.
