What is the initial velocity of the ball


A batter hits a baseball 2.25 ft above the ground towards 3rd base. If the ball takes 0.65 s to get to the 3rd baseman (who is 95 ft from homeplate) and it passes just above the jumping 3rd baseman's glove, what is the initial velocity of the ball? Assume the 3rd baseman (with his glove on) can reach to a height of 9 ft, and can jump 34 inches off the ground. How many m/s @ how many degrees, with respect to the ground? If the left field wall is 361 ft away, and 9 feet tall, will this result in a home run?
