Lets assume I am throwing in a dome (no wind), and it is at Sea Level, Barometric Pressure is 760 and the humidity is 0%. A baseball is a sphere, 5 ounces, 9 inches in circumference (for calculating air resistance), and the ball has backspin on it upon release from my hand. Please don't say 428 feet either, that's not correct, although some others have said so (think they forgot to calculate air resistance). Good Luck. ( I REALLY WANT TO KNOW THIS, ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED, ESPECIALLY FROM MATH WIZZES!)

80 mph, 25 rev/sec (backspin), released 6.5 feet above the ground, two seam orientation - distance = 282.5 feet.
80 mph, 25 rev/sec (backspin), released 6.5 feet above the ground, four seam orientation - distance = 281.9 feet.
80 mph, 10 rev/sec (backspin), released 6.5 feet above the ground, two seam orientation - distance = 277.6 feet.
80 mph, 50 rev/sec (backspin), released 6.5 feet above the ground, two seam orientation - distance = 317.5 feet.

This is a physics question. Go find a basic physics book and plug the formula!
