Please help me with this question

An outfielder catches a baseball of mass .14kg moving at 50m/s. The glove and ball move .50m during the time the ball is stopped. What is the average force exerted by the ball on the outfielder's glove?

At first I thought this questin had to do with F=ma, but the .50m part is confusing me.

Use the work-energy theorem instead
