4About it

A baseball has a small cork and rubber center, wound with long strands of yarn and covered with two figure-eight pieces of white leather. They are sewn together with 108 double stitches of red thread.

Tap it and it is pitched as a curveball: it spins hard, and the spin makes the air push it down and to the side late in its flight, which is why curveballs are so hard to hit. Then the crack of a bat sends it looping back to its spot. A fast pitch reaches the batter in less than half a second.
