If free will was not real

[Edwardo Piet]

That;s a strange way to put it...since the fundamental laws of physics have -everything- to do with and say about baseball.  There;s a reason, for example, that the ball travels on it;s particular trajectory.  That it reacts the way it does when it comes into contact with the bat.  Physics, in both cases, being that reason.  No fundamental laws of physics, no baseball..nothing to talk -about-.

But the game itself is not the mere movements of the ball or players or baseball bat because a game is a set of rules that meet a certain definition that constitute a 'game'.
