Well, I'm not sure if this is 100% right for an answer, but I'm doing an essay that involves the laws of motion and Baseball right now, so I'll tell you what I put down. Newton's first law of motion states that an object in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. You know that probably, though. So the baseball itself is at rest until an unbalanced force - the force of the pitcher throwing it - acts on it, causing it to move.

The ball stays in motion unless an unbalanced force, say the person who catches the ball if there's a strike (the catcher), acts on it by catching it, which stops the motion. Inertia.
