in at least one respect: one ball was used throughout a game. It was common practice to scuff that ball, spit on it, and discolour it, helping it move in the air and become hard to spot at high speed. The older and softer the ball got, the harder it was to hit, and low...
Because I am a catcher and Catcher's mitts are some of the toughest to break in, I have found a new technique (that is by no means new to the world, but new to me). The pitching machine. I currently have a friend of mine who owns a baseball instructional academy. Being good frien...
When they hit each other, they join up. This is how they grow larger and heavier. When they are too heavy to stay in the air, they fall down as rain. If it is very cold, the very small drops of water change into ice. The pieces of ice freeze together. When they...
Foul territory is designated as "out of play," which means baseballs hit there don't count as a hit. However, the ball can be caught in foul territory. Foul territory also includes: Team dugouts - The sheltered area on either side of the field where players stay when they aren't on...

OK—so far we've covered why scoring a higher ACT Reading score is important, why you're fully capable of improving your score, and the raw score you'll need to get in order to hit your target score of 26. I hope a lot of this was useful and changed how you thought about ACT pr...

This wasn't exactly how it was supposed to go. The reason Harper was in the magazines was that he hit baseballs so, so,sofar. "Multiple scouts have stated that they've never seen as much in-game power in a player so young," wrote Baseball Prospectus. He had an incredibly vio...
First, as we know, it's still early spring. It's colder than it will be in the months ahead, and baseballs don't fly as far in the cold. This isn't just a trope -- it's a verifiable thing. Based on recent trends, we can expect the homer rate to incr...
