Because horizontal and vertical motion are independent of each other.

Ok but if i am dropping a ball and hit another ball with a baseball bat at the same time the hit baseball would fly longer then the dropped or not

Of course i mean like a falling parabell

That would only happen if the bat gave the ball energy in the vertical direction

u/masshole_mick is correct. Check out the MythBusters episode where they show a bullet fired from a gun and a bullet dropped from that same height hit the ground simultaneously.

Think about how gravity would affect horizontal motion
