When James Sherwood, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, sees his lab assistants swinging baseball bats, he doesn't worry that they're goofing off.
Swinging bats and discussing the finer points of the game are part of the job for them as they assist Sherwood in UMass-Lowell's Baseball Research Center.
It is a basement laboratory designated by Major League Baseball as the official "test kitchen" for its baseballs, as well as for all bats used by high schools and NCAA league games.
