I agree this is how it is always called, but has anyone actually seen the proof of this? I tried to prove it, but my physics is alot rusty since I haven't used it in 20 yrs. It has always seemed to me that a pitch that only arcs at 6' and drops just behind the corner of the plate might actually be low.
