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

Batter B is likely to hit the ball the greater distance because hitting the ball directly behind it allows for maximum force and power from the swing, resulting in a greater distance covered by the ball.
