Ever wonder why a curveball curves, or what’s inside of a baseball? Find out here at the Exploratorium's Science of Baseball site. Throughout the Science of Baseball site, you’ll investigate the insides of that iconic leather-covered ball, test your reaction time with a bat, find a bat’s sweet spot and more.

2013年8月21日 · Baseball science is all about performance. And it starts before the players step onto the diamond. Many scientists study the physics of baseball to build, test and improve equipment.

Welcome to my site devoted to research on the physics of baseball. My particular research interests are two-fold: the physics of the baseball-bat collision and the flight of the baseball. I have done quite a bit of independent research in both areas. I am also heavily involved with several areas of practical interest to the game.

2009年2月12日 · In this episode, former big league pitcher Dr. Dave Baldwin talks about his run-in with Ted Williams, his life in science, the physics of the gyroball versus the slider, and how he finally made...

2025年3月28日 · Researchers from Penn’s School of Arts & Sciences and School of Engineering and Applied Science confirmed that Major League Baseball’s “magic mud” significantly enhances grip, validating a nearly century-old tradition. The mud alters baseballs in three key ways: filling microscopic pores to reduce slickness, creating a tacky film that ...

2025年4月2日 · If you were making a bowling pin on a lathe and suddenly decided to make a baseball bat instead, the result would look something like the "torpedo bat" that is the talk of MLB's new season.

2023年12月14日 · Many of our researchers are big fans of America’s pastime, the game of baseball. They designed simulations to study and teach how airplane and rocket aerodynamics have applied equations to baseball. When you factor in weather and location, you have the perfect tools to have fun learning about baseball!

5 小时之前 · The Pitt News asked Pitt physics chair Andrew Zentner his thoughts on the new bats and the science behind the torpedo-shaped barrels. ... The “sweet spot” he’s referring to is an area on the bat where vibrations from hitting a baseball are the most minimal. “It’s not obvious, but bats are actually very flexible,” Zentner said. ...

Baseball centers around the (seemingly) eternal struggle between pitcher and batter, and each uses physics, albeit intuitively, to gain a slim advantage over the other in determining the fate of the game's center of interest -- the ball.

2024年5月14日 · Explore the fascinating science of baseball at T-Mobile Park, unraveling the physics behind every pitch and the engineering marvels of the iconic stadium!
