Explanation:

According to a different source, this question refers to the text "Baseball: From pitch to hits: The ballpark brings home plenty of science" by Stephen Orne.

In this text, the author explains the connection between baseball and physics. He tells us that, while baseball cannot be necessarily predicted accurately, it can be better understood through the use of statistics. In fact, the author tells the reader that baseball coaches and players often study this information in order to improve the game. This demonstrates that baseball can be better understood when science and data are involved in the process.
