> > My name is Ben Ferrell. I am currently an baseball player for Rangeview High School and I was hoping you could help me out with a problem that I have. I have been searching the web and have been unable as yet to find an answer to my problem. I am doing a physics project on the velocity of a baseball swing compared to the velocity of the pitch, therefore resulting in velocity of the ball off of the bat. I was wondering if you could help me out by giving me some equations i could use to find these different types of velocity. If so email back at me email address given above. Thanks >

Ben,

Get Robert Adair's book, the Physics of Baseball. That will have all the information you need. It's also very inexpensive, under $10 for the paperback version.
