What is "ball"?

The "ball" in the context of the human body refers to the rounded and protuberant part found in someone's hand, foot, or thumb. It often describes the fleshy area or joint where these body parts curve or bulge outward. These "balls" contribute to the overall structure, dexterity, and grip of the hand, provide stability and shock absorption in the foot, and enable movement and opposition in the thumb. Understanding the anatomy and function of these "balls" is important for activities requiring precise hand movements, weight-bearing activities, and fine motor skills.

a baseball pitch that the batter does not swing at and is not called a strike by the umpire because it misses the strike zone

What is a "ball"?

A ball in baseball or softball is a pitch that the batter does not swing at, and the umpire decides it is outside the area where the batter is allowed to hit, known as the strike zone. If the batter does not swing at the pitch and it is called a ball, it does not count as a strike against the batter. After four balls, the batter is allowed to walk to first base. The strike zone is an imaginary area over the plate that extends from the batter's knees to their chest.

What is a "ball"?

In soccer, a ball refers to the act of passing the ball to a teammate in a specific direction or style, depending on the situation. For example, a player might send a long ball over the defense to reach a teammate farther down the field or lift a high ball into the air for a player to attack.

This can involve varying the speed, height, and angle of the pass to best suit the player receiving it and the tactical needs of the team.
