This is related with 2nd law of motion .
Player moves his hand backward to increase the time during which the high velocity of moving ball decreases to zero.
as we know that force is inversely proportional to time so when we increase the time the momentum of ball decreases which reduces the force exerted by the ball.
That's why player pulls his hand backwards.

Answer:

This is due to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

Explanation:

When the net force ( by the  ball ) acts on our hands, it produces acceleration in the direction of the net force. But we tends to stop our hands and thus the acceleration becomes 0 m/s^2. That's why our hands moves a little bit in the opposite direction.
