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.(2 points)

Answer 1

Batter B is likely to hit the ball a greater distance because they have a better chance of hitting the sweet spot of the bat due to the direct alignment with the ball.
