In the simplist terms, acceleration is a function of velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude of veloicty we call speed. But if either the magnitude (speed) or the direction of the velocity changes with time then the object undergoes an acceleration.

So you Baseball player runs around the base, he may not change speed but he is certainly chaning directions and therefore is accelerating.
