It is mathematically impossible to throw a rising fastball.

A) The ball is spinning in the wrong direction.

B) Round objects don't create lift like a wing when traveling through air.

C) The ball is traveling at a downward trajectory with too much energy to overcome direction and gravity.

D) I see rising fastballs all the time !
