Major league pitchers throw a baseball nearly 100 miles per hour, giving a batter a fraction of a second to swing at the pitch. But pitchers use the science of aerodynamics to make the ball even harder to hit.
Gravity is always pulling a baseball downward once it’s thrown. Pitchers grip the ball in different ways to create spin. Air traveling above the ball is forced downward by the spin, and the air below it creates lift.
Distance from pitcher’s mound to home plate: 60 feet, 6 inches During the last 15 feet of the ball’s journey, it begins to curve downward or sometimes to the left or right, depending on the type of pitch. The batter must begin swinging before the ball begins to curve. It’s not easy to be a big league hitter!
