Baseball

Speed is based on distance traveled in a given amount of time. Baseball uses a distance of 60 feet 6 inches from the pitching rubber to home where as softball is 43 feet. A ball that would cover 43 feet in 1/2 a second is traveling just over 58 mph while a ball covering 60 feet 6 inches in the same time is traveling 82.5 mph. You need to know 2 of the following 3 ; distance, speed, or time. If you know distance and time then the formula is speed=distance/time.

If you know the speed and distance then use time=distance/speed, get that number then use previous formula and change distance to get comparison.

In the first round (6th overall) in the 1985 MLB draft.

The SV12. I just got mine from Dicks Sporting Goods for 200 dollars and used it in my game tonight and hit a homerun. For me Demarini's dont have a very good trampoline effect and they are too expensive but the SV12 was great and you could really feel the ball being pushed by the bat.

Hope this helps

Yes. I watched the ABC Monday Night Baseball telecast of July 4th, 1977, and, in making one of his first starts for the Reds since coming in a trade from the Mets, Seaver threw a pitch to Atlanta's Biff Pocoroba that, according to announcer Bob Uecker, the JUGS gun timed at 101 mph. Pocoroba lined it for a double. Other pitchers working in the majors that year who reached 100 mph would have been Nolan Ryan, Rich Gossage, J.R. Richard, Jim Kern, John D'Acquisto, Terry Forster, and perhaps Bart Johnson, Jim Palmer, and Len Barker among others.

There are 90 feet between each base in Major League baseball.

ERA stands for Earned Run Average. The number of innings per game determines how ERA is calcuated. In Major League Baseball they play 9 innings so ERA is calculated with this equation, Earned Runs divided by 9. High School baseball (at least where I am located) plays 7 innings as a regulation length game. In this case a pitcher's ERA is Earned Runs divided by 7. In Little League the a regulation game is 6 innings, so ERA would be determined by Earned Runs divided by 6. If you are playing a game and it goes in to extra innings then a pitcher's ERA is not affected by the extra innings. If a regulation game is 6 innings, and the game goes into the seventh inning, then a pitcher's ERA is still determined by # of earned runs divided by 6. In summary ERA is ALWAYS determined by the amount of Earned Runs allowed divided by the number of innings played (not including extra innings).

In a standard baseball game, there are three outs per inning for each team, with nine innings played. If the home team is ahead after the visiting team has batted in the ninth inning, the game is over at that point (as there is no need for the home team to bat).

You can slide into 1st base. Generally, it is not recommended. There are two scenarios where you may want to slide into first. 1) You have hit the ball and are running toward first. The first baseman is positioning to receive the throw. You can see that the throw is offline and the defender may try to tag you instead of touching the base, or the throw has put the defender in your basepath. You slide to avoid a tag or the defender. 2) You have a base hit and have rounded the bag. A throw is coming toward 1st base and you need to return. You may want to slide back to the bag to avoid the tag while off the base.
