The equation h equals minus 16 t squared plus 58 t plus 3 models the height of a baseball after is has been hit where
h is the ending height and t is the time in seconds.
=========
h%28t%29+=+-16t%5E2+%2B+58t+%2B+3
This is commonly used on Earth for units in feet and seconds.
Earth's gravitational acceleration is ~32 ft/sec/sec.
58 is the vertical speed of the ball, 58 ft/sec, when hit.
3 is the ball's height when hit by the bat.
h%28t%29+=+gt%5E2%2F2+%2B+vot+%2B+ho --> h%28t%29+=+-16t%5E2+%2B+58t+%2B+3
g is negative due to acceleration downward.

I don't know where it was hit.
