Robert Adair (physicist) quotes

A small, but interesting, portion of baseball can be understood on the basis of physical principles. The flight of balls, the liveliness of balls, the structure of bats, and the character of the collisions of balls and bats are a natural province of physics and physicists. (Robert Adair (physicist))
Note that the ball falls at a rather large angle at the end of its flight; the trajectories are not symmetric. View quote

Balls curve as a consequence of asymmetries in the resistance of the air through which they pass. View quote
Robert Adair (physicist)
To hit a baseball with dispatch, one needs both to step into the ball and to rotate. View quote
