Which statement from the passage most strongly supports the reason why the pitcher's rubber was moved in 1880.
“Adair reported on his analysis of the art of hitting big league pitching at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting this weekend.”
“Adair said the swing involves moving a 2-pound bat at more than 80 mph and delivering up to nine horsepower of energy to the ball.”
