This seems to violate the laws of physics because a baseball is subject to gravity and should immediately have a downward acceleration, in addition to its forward acceleration, when released by a pitcher. Thus a pitch that rises should be impossible. What’s going on? [Answer/Discuss]( TECH ARTICLE [] [Best Practices for Marking and Traceability]( “Marking and traceability requirements can be an intimidating process. Lack of compliance may lead to liability issues, increased costs, steep penalties, federal prosecution, and/or counterfeiting problems. More importantly, noncompliance could mean the loss of your company’s reputation. Manufacturers, for example, must adhere to strict marking standards with regards to position, size, and contents of the mark, leaving no room for error.” [Read this article in its entirety](.
