Speedsters win hands down of course, which is why I listed them first.
Unless they're a /slow/ speedster. TKs in general don't have the
investment in fast reflexes that a speedster has, so they'll have no
chance of keeping up with the play.
Same goes for teleports, although I listed those as an afterthought.
They generally don't have the reflexes, so they won't make it 'round the
bases very quick, but their base-to-base speed is potentially
instantaneous. How do you intercept that, short of having the ball
already at the base before they move, so they won't move because the
ball is at the base... see the problem?

There are way too many possibilities for supers to screw up the game for
any set of rules to cover them all. Hell, the game rules don't even
cover all the ways that supers can mess up normal (for supers)
activities like fighting *shrug*
