Re: references on physics of baseball

Of course this depends upon how technical you want to get.
AAPT put out a good booklet some years ago on the physics of various sports.

For a start, I would say try the Science of Baseball from the Exploratorium
located at:
http://www.exploratorium.edu/baseball/

This is an interesting site.
