Calculate the magnitude of the momentum change, treating the incoming ball as horizontal (e.g., a fast ball, not a sinker). You may have to use the law of cosines. They should have told you what direction to assume for the pitched ball.
Divide the momentum change magnitude by the time of contact to get the average force.
