The Science of Baseball Batting, Bats, Bat-Ball Collisions, and the Flight of the Ball /

This augmented, new edition adds discussion of the bat's vertical sweetness gradient, eye-hand cross-dominance, models for the swing of a bat, and accuracy of simulations. The book retains its description of dynamic collisions between baseballs, softballs, and bats, and the intricate modeling o...
