Caught it, he wasn't on for much. Baseball myths--the effect of corking on a bat, whether sliding is faster that staying upright, humidity's effect on hit distance. Roger's bit was on the physics of curveballs and why there's no such thing as a "rising" fastball.What was this all about?on now

Corking the bat actually hurts power.Sliding is faster when you need to stop on the base. They didnt do first or home though.hburgers11 said:would somebody with a little more insight care to update what the conclusionS were?Sounds like there's no such thing as a "rising" fastball.what were the conclusions?Caught it, he wasn't on for much.

Humid balls travel less distance
No pitcher could ever generate enough lift to make a fastball rise.
The cover does not fly off a baseball until its essentially a bullet. Though they didnt try that with an older ball, still seems highly unlikely given the speed differentials involved.
I think thats it.
