Answer:

A person can hit a ball farther if it's pitched faster because while the ball is getting pitched, the more force added onto the ball = more force can be hit back on it when the person hits the ball.

Step-by-step explanation:

basically to put it in easier words, the ball goes farther if it starts off with more force then more force added makes it go way farther
