The game of baseball is 90%mental and10% physical.

Mental preparation includes understanding everything a good ball player can learn about the team he is about to face. As the other team warms up, the smart ball player will notice:

Who has a strong arm
The right-handedness or left-handedness of the pitcher and/or infielders
What weaknesses or tendencies the pitcher has
The quickness of the defense
The communication between the pitcher and the catcher
The conditions on the field, including the backstop and how it will affect a ball that hits it

All these tendencies of the other team seem small when viewed individually, but together, they provide a valuable picture about the other team. By gathering all this information, good ball players can identify weaknesses of the other team and use them to his teams advantage.
