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

Batter B is likely to hit the ball a greater distance because hitting the ball directly behind it allows for a more efficient transfer of energy from the bat to the ball, resulting in a more powerful hit.
