The Physics of Baseball by Robert Adair

Blending science and sports trivia, Robert Adair examines what a baseball does when thrown or batted under specific conditions--and why. Taking into account new developments in the science of the sport as well as recent changes in the game and its players, this revised, updated, and expanded third edition includes new sections on the neurophysiology of batting, ball constancy and elasticity over time, bat vibration, and the character of the "sweet spot."

Complete with understandable charts and graphs, baseball lore, and entertaining anecdotes about famous players and incidents, The Physics of Baseball will delight and entertain baseball fans and physics enthusiasts alike.
