What is the best baseball bat of 2012?
I think that the best new bats are the eastons, demarini's and the combat's... The best bat I'm pretty sure is the new combat b4, the bats price is 230$ if you buy it new. If you buy it used it will at least range from 160 $ to 210 $..... The reason why the combat b4 is so good is because it is composite and has maximum allowance performance, Ultra soft feel, super sweetspot size, variable stiffness technology, blended fiber technology, single wall construction, It has a long barrel, and it has really cool graphics to it... ( by the way I'm pretty sure its black..) It is approved to play in the babe Ruth league, Dixie youth league, pony baseball league, and AABC.... sorry this is old here is another answer, the bats that are really good are: the combat b4, combat pure gear, the easton omen, the demarini cf5, the easton XL1, 2, and 3 are good.(the XL's are probably the best bats for power hitters.) and also the easton s2 is a good bat. The easton XL is recommended to kids who are strong and have good bat speed. same with the omen. the combat b4 is not very flexable and is good for hard and head on hitters. the cf5 and combat pure gear are recommended to flexible batters and base hitters. ( also for kids that have a hard time hitting it hard on the sweet spot.)
P.S. this message is for mainly LITTLE LEAGUE, but can also a little bit be referred to in senior league. (mainly for 5-14 years old.) The easton XL1's price is 240 dollars for those power hitters.

The slowest softball pitch is the change-up. It is used to trick the batter into swinging early. When pitchers have a good change up it can be used quite often with the same effect each time. Pitches can also be thrown off-speed, like an off-speed curve ball.

How important is each position on a baseball field?
Each position is very important on the field. The short stop is most important because most balls are hit toward them so that position should contain the most intelligent and best player. All the players should be able to catch, throw, and all the other obvious ways just in case the ball is hit to them. There is any chance the ball will go everywhere so make sure you have good players in all positions at all times.

Your question intrigued me because I remember Rocky Colavito throwing out Earl Battey at first base on a one hop line drive to right field in the early 60s. I have googled and checked baseball reference sites and I can't find any mention of what you asked. Looking at the 1971-1972 Phillies roster, about the only other person this might have happened to is first baseman Deron Johnson, a similar type player as Luzinski although I believe a step slower (Johnson is listed as 6'2"/209 and Luzinski 6'1"/225).
What Mexican baseball player has the most home runs?

Who was the major league baseball player that retired young because he was afraid to fly?
This answer is strictly from memory but I am virtually certain that Jackie Jensen was reputed to have quit playing for the Boston Red Sox because he was afraid to fly. He originally broke in with the NY Yankees coming up the same year and from the same Pacific Coast team as Billy Martin. Also believe Casey Stengel was their minor league manager who was promoted to the Yankees in the same year. Note also that Jensen was a very good college football player (halfback?) on the West Coast and believe he played in the Rose Bowl one year.
