Baseball is a game that lends itself to mathematics. From 3 strikes and 3 outs to the geometry of the infield diamond...From hitting .300 or .406, to throwing a curveball on 3-2 count in the bottom of the 9th inning, math is everywhere in baseball.

In the majors, most organizations rely heavily on baseball-oriented statistics to evaluate talent. Coaches at all levels use mathematics to help determine in-game strategy. So, whether you love baseball or mathematics or both, I hope this sheds a little light on the connections between mathematics and America's National Pastime.
