Abstract
The coefficient of restitution of major league baseballs is required to be 0.546±0.032. These allowed variations affect the launch velocity and ultimately the range of fly balls. The variations in the range for well-hit balls are calculated here to be on the order of 15 ft. These calculations provide an interesting collection of mechanics problems that might be of interest for undergraduate students.
