Question

In 2-3 sentences, In T-ball, batters hit a ball that is placed on a T-shaped stand. Batter A hits the ball by swinging the bat from a resting position on his shoulder. Batter B hits the ball with the bat directly behind it. In one or two sentences, create and justify a claim about which batter will likely hit the ball the greater distance. (Make sure a 3rd grader can understand)

Answer 1

Batter A will likely hit the ball farther because he swings the bat from a resting position, allowing him to build up more speed and power. Batter B, by starting with the bat behind the ball, may not get as much force behind the hit.
