Without knowing (or caring) anything about the specifics of baseball, the direct answer could possibly be that it pertains to one implicit vector, like the rate at which ball covers ground distance regardless of angle up or down. Or vice versa. It often turns out that these speed vs velocity disagreements come down to whether one counts an assumed direction in the definition or not.
