Problem 1: The fastest pitched baseball was measured at 48 m/s. A typical baseball has a mass of 150 g. If the pitcher exerted his force (assumed to be horizontal and constant) over a distance of 1.0 m,

(b) Draw free-body diagrams of the ball during the pitch and just after it left the pitcher's hand.

I have the answer for A, can you please help me with B... Please explain whatever you do with detail. (For example if you are showing Force normal, please explain why you are using it and why in that position, etc..)

Thank you
