1:40-1:54 i do those things!!! yay!!! its easy for a pop up cuz the ball starts to slow down at tis highest point to you just run to it. this is how i caught my last pop up
outfielders really just looks for three things. Loudness of the bat, how quickly it travels the first 100-150 feet or so, and how high it is. Judging whether or not the ball was pulled or sliced, or whether it's going to tail, sail, sink or cut is very advanced, but the easiest think to tell is when a ball is going to cut.
Determining right or left is easy. If my head starts to go up more than 45 degrees and depending on the trajectory and speed, It's over your head so run back facing the ball. If in front, You have it stay in front then catch up to it.
haha, this video is great. Ofcourse, no one really cares about the actual physics of the game. Its all about learning things relatively, not numerically. Its not like an outfielder calculated the velocity of the ball is 10 feet deep and 15 feet left.
trust me they are. u just dont really recognize it becuz they do it so fast and probably without realizing it. but ever wonder how almost every time they are placed perfectly under the ball
your not numericly calculating the velocity. just relativly. if you can tell that the ball of the bat is hit hard and fast and as rising at a high angle, more often than not your going to realize its going over your head.
man when u catch the ball in centerfield, if u dont how fast its goin then u dont no if its a blooper that will fall in front of u or if its goin over ur head
All you physics geeks can thank jocks like me for giving you a reason to do research on such a stupid and obvious thing like this and maybe get a C+ on it.
pussies? you call people who stand in the batter's box facing a guy who can throw 95-99 mph a pussy? hes standing in there not knowing if hes gonna get hit by that pitch, retard. he has the balls to face a pitcher like that. i wanna see some WR do that and not cringe
I'm sorry if I offended you.My apologies.I played both sports in high school and yes,sure I was slightly nervous in the box,but man when I went over the middle,that DB scared the shit out of me! Anyway...Go Buckeyes!Beat Michigan.

I dont know how they used to play baseball before calculators. Now with portable PC's, the game has become much easier. Stupid Apple missed the boat on this one. Go suck an egg, Steve Jobs- your iphone wont save you here.

It takes scientists to figure out "Hey, look! The ball's going that way!"
Btw I love playing baseball and I suck ass at math! D:
Awesome video though. I enjoyed it.
Also, was this their way of trying to get nerds into sports?? XD

This description is exactly what you don't do. Google papers on the LOT and OAC strategies and stop watching American 'science' TV.

All you have to do to catch a fly ball is look at it and catch it, I don't think anyone is calculating velocity lol.
