NEW ORLEANS - The purists will tell you that baseball is a game of underlying complexity. On the surface the game seems simple enough, but each play has the potential for countless outcomes. Each pitch involves careful consideration from everyone on the field – not just the pitcher and the batter. STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) is at the heart of it all. The Sun Belt Conference will take advantage of these underlying sides of baseball in two educational sessions during the upcoming Sun Belt Baseball Championship in Lafayette, La.
With the help of Science of Sport, the College Football Playoff Foundation, and a sponsorship from Humana, an event for Lafayette area elementary and middle school students will be held on Wednesday, May 23 and another session for Lafayette area educators will be held on Thursday, May 24.
