But I'm feeling frisky tonight - what does this "rising fastball" thread say about a SUBMARINE-style pitcher's fastball???

The idea behind a Submarine'r, is he is either throwing perfectly level, or a little up. Ball starts out rising, and continues. Where as a rising fastball starts out level or descending, and then changes direction to rise.
It can't be done !
But please don't tell my son that, as I taught him how to do it. He also has a 90+ fastball with a 12" corkscrew on the end. Too bad he chose to play the ridiculous game of Basketball, instead of continuing on with baseball. The local colleges were frothing at the mouth to get a hold of that arm. And he thinks nothing of it.
