For a minute there, I thought we were all agreeing
.
I said earlier "It doesn't have to be a straight line to be "directly" to the catcher's mitt. The "directly" means without touching anything else like the catcher's equipment or body, the ground, etc. ".
I will go along with the catcher obviously making a play as opposed to "just" catching a pitch, but I can't agree that it has to be a straight line. In fact, I don't think a ball can move in a straight line, coming past a bat that tipped it, which causes spin. Any physicists out there?
