What is a Ball Hawk?
A Hawk is a bird of prey with three specific anatomical features: strong grasping feet equipped with sharp talons, a hooked upper beak, and excellent binocular vision.
Hawks have large, highly developed eyes, which provide the keenest vision of any animal. Their nostrils are located in a leathery patch of skin called the cere, which is just above the bill. Hawks use their strong, hooked bills to tear apart prey that is too large to swallow whole. Hawks with long talons are suited for catching other birds in flight; those with short talons attack flightless animals. Some hawks have both large feet and large talons and can eat a wide variety of prey.
There are three types of hawks: accipiters, or woodland hawks; falcons; and buteos, or soaring hawks. These hawks can be identified by the shape of their wings and tails. Accipiters have short, rounded wings and long tails, which they use to dart among trees in pursuit of other birds, their primary food. Falcons have long, sickle-shaped wings and long tails, which are suited for chasing other birds at extremely high speeds in the open country. Buteos have broad wings
The most spectacular of hunters, peregrine falcons feed almost exclusively on birds they take in the air. High-speed dives enable peregrines to catch everything from songbirds to herons and ducks.
Well, a Ball Hawk is a player who exhibits the same qualities as a Hawk or Raptor in respect to hitting a baseball or softball. A Hawk has to use all it's abilities in order to catch it's prey and it has to do it consistantly in order to survive. You as a player have to learn to hit the ball consistantly in order to stay on the field and you need those same qualities as the Hawk to accomplish this. Think of the ball as your prey that you have to catch in mid air and use those Hawk like qualities to become a Ball Hawk. Just like the Hawk's prey, the ball is constantly trying to avoid you so you must constantly sharpen your skills to be successful.
