The Hot Corner!
What's New
Statcast has a new trick. The velocity of the bat (at the tip I'm guessing but who knows) is shown in color. You can see the bat speed up until it collides with the ball. Then it instantly slows down only to be sped up again as the batter follows through on their swing. Conservation of momentum in action!
Play Ball!
As Bogey once said, "A hot dog at the ballgame beats roast beef at the Ritz." The only thing that can make baseball even better is a dash of physics! Explore these links and have a blast. Please send comments to the address below.
