What if a baseball player bobbles the ball and it goes into the stands and then karoms back onto the field?

Once a ball bounces into the stands, it's out of play. It doesn't matter whether or not it bounced back into the field. The fact that a player touched it also doesn't change anything.

Upper body is essential however especially for sluggers who relly on raw power to post a 450+ ft Homerun everytime at bat. My estimate is pitchers, petite outfielders, pinch runners, and other smaller players might be in the 200-300 range. Silver sluggers, Designated hitters, heavy lineup batters, perhaps in the 300-500 range. Umpires: they can bench a broom dipped in chrome for about 2 reps.
