No, what I'm saying it a pitched baseball cannot flatten out as you suggest. The ball is in a constant state of deceleration and free fall from the nano second it's released.
If you have an understanding of slightly advanced mathematics this might interest you.
I'll try to make this my last post on the subject. If someone doesn't understand what I'm saying after looking at this calculation and reading the information in the following link, then I guess I can't help them
