When do college baseball catchers start calling the pitches instead of the coach?
My coach didn't let me start calling the pitches until it was obvious I was doing as good if not a better job than him. Looking over charts and patterns for hitters and the weakness in each hitter helps as a tool. If you as a catcher use those tools you make yourself a better pitch caller as you see first hand why they missed a pitch. Some catchers don't want to worry about the pitch calling.

Can a person see pitch black?
Well, it depends on what you are referring too. Can a person see the color pitch black? Yes, they can and you see it daily. But can a person see while in a pitch black room, no. If there is the smallest drop of light then your eyes are able to adjust but if it is truly pitch black then you will not be able to see and your eyes will not be able to adjust.
In baseball do the pitcher and catcher form?
I think you are asking what they form. If that is what you want to know, they are called "The Battery," because they work together to try and get the batter out. The catcher makes hand signals for the pitcher to see telling him what type of pitch to throw. The pitcher will either nod or shake his head to let the catcher know if that is the pitch he wants to deliver or not.
Is it beneficial for a batter to swing at the first pitch he sees?
probably not because you should see how fast the pitcher pitches and if they pitch a curve then see how well it curves
How long is a football pitch?

Why can you observe the effects of wave motion for a baseball?
You can observe the effects of wave motion for a baseball because when the baseball is pitched or hit, it creates a disturbance in the air that propagates as a wave. This wave causes the baseball to move in a characteristic pattern, such as curving in a curveball pitch due to the rotation of the ball.
How do baseball players use measurement in their job?
Well, you need to know how long and how heavy you want your bat to be. Baseball players also measure the speed of their pitches to see how good of a fastball they have.
Does playing fastball with a tennis ball makes you a better hitter in baseball?
Hitting can be broken down into three segments; SEE, REACT, SWING. You watch the ball in the pitcher's hand during the windup and you watch the ball leave the pitcher's hand when it is thrown and you watch the spin of the ball as it comes towards the plate. That is SEE. You determine what the pitch is (fastball, curveball, etc.), you determine where the ball is going to go and you determine whether it is headed towards an area that you think you can get good wood on it. That is REACT. You swing if you like the pitch or don't swing if you don't like the pitch. That is SWING. It doesn't make any difference whether you are playing with a tennis ball or a golf ball or a baseball. The theory and mechanics are the same. So, to answer your question I would say the more you practice the better you will be, regardless of the type of ball you use to practice with.
