actually there are more joints in the hand & feet that we can voluntarily control(e.g can we move our rib joints like our fingers?).The reason is the fine and skillfull movements that we need to do with our hands and feet.Think of wearing a shirt/writing a letter/kick a ball if you are permitted only to flex & extend your fingers and feet!

When the baseball hits your hand, its energy will be transferred to your hand and arm (and to some extent, the rest of your body and everything its in contact with).
