Changing BaseballsBaseball umpires change the ball after almost every pitch because the major league pitchers are good enough to use the ball, if it has damage, to their advantage. For example, if the stitching is broken they are good enough to use that small detail to help themselves.

One reason could be because the ball has gotten wet from sweat, ground condensation, etc. Another reason could be because the ball has cut or gashes in it. The most common reason is to speed the game along, especially on past balls!

Why are most ground balls missed in baseball?

Because of the uneven nature of the outfield, ground balls will tend to bounce unexpectedly, making them difficult to predict. Most outfielders are instructed to "Trap" the ball rather than catching it with a glove. Trapping the ball gives you a lot larger surface to stop the ball.
