If you can throw 55 mph how many feet could you throw?
225 feet
----------
225 feet is a very vague and most importantly, incorrect answer.
If you know for sure you are throwing 55mph off of a mound, then during a long toss session if you throw a baseball around a 45-50 degree angle you should be able to reach around 150 feet. 225 feet translates into about 73mph thrown at a 45 degree angle. This is also for the fact that the elevation at which you are is close to sea level and if there is little to no wind.

What is the difference between a sinker and a two seam fastball?
A two-seam fastball is thrown the same way as a four seam fastball, the only difference is the grip. It has more late breaking movement than a four seam fastball. For a righty it tends to rise in on a right handed hitter. For this reason, if thrown in the middle of the zone, it will jam a hitter and produce weak hits.
A sinker is the same pitch, but thrown down in the zone with slightly more wrist snap. Throwing this pitch down in the zone produces a late break downwards. The desired result is weakly hit ground balls.
Both pitches are easy to learn and easy on the arm as they do not require anything except the normal throwing motion.

How do you you calculate catcher's fielding percentage?
The same way you calculate other fielder's fielding average: the number of errors divided by the number of chances. Catcher's "chances" are opportunities to make a play, i. e. a pop up, throw to a base in attempting to throw out a runner, fielding a bunt or short fair ball in front of the plate, etc. Catching balls and strikes from the pitcher is not considered a "chance" by the catcher. Catchers also have a special fielding category called "passed balls", but they are not considered "chances" is determing a catcher's fielding average.
Why is baseball better than lacrosse?
Well..... Honestly, I hate baseball and love lacrosse... but I think it's because lacrosse is very fast-paced and baseball can drag on slowly. Also, if you're into contact sports, it's obvious to see that lacrosse is mainly whacking people and baseball rarely has any contact and hitting. Anyways, although baseball is more popular, lacrosse, (in some people, such as me, have opinions) that lacrosse is way better.
