The correct response is:
As the ball’s potential energy decreases, its kinetic energy increases.
When the baseball is at rest, it has potential energy due to its position (if it's elevated) and no kinetic energy since it's not moving. When it is thrown, it loses some of that potential energy (if it is lifted initially) and converts that energy into kinetic energy, allowing it to move.
