Baseball: The Game and Beyond - The Batting Cage contains some useful physics about pitching and hitting.
Science of Baseball - Try the "Fastball Reaction Time" Shockwave test.
The Physics of Baseball - Pitching, catching and hitting.
Physics of a Home Run - An essay by Scott Teresi.
The Physics of Baseball - Many links to science-related features associated with the game and equipment.
Baseball Home Run Simulator - Test your predictions.
