science of physics will increase
the pitcher’s chances of
throwing a strike.

force, energy, friction and
drag are a big part
of the game of

there by itself. The pitcher will use a wind up to throw, or put a
force on the ball to give it the energy it needs to travel all the
way to home plate.

as hard as you can. How far do you think it would go? Now go outside and try it
for real. Measure how far you threw the ball.
