Talent is what you do well. Habits are what you do well repeatedly without thought. Skills are what you do well repeatedly without thought while under stress.
Talented hitters go with the flow until things get stressful. Good hitters have good habits. Elite hitters have skills. The scouting report for talented hitters talks about their tools such as bat speed and raw power. Scouts use words like consistency and repeatability when discussing hitters with good habits.
Hitters with skills get talked about in a specific way. Scouts talk about skilled hitters ability to track pitches as opposed to talented hitters ability to “see the ball well.” Skilled hitters leverage their body to produce power as opposed to talented hitters reliance of using effort to hit the ball hard.
