You know, this whole thing is very easy to prove.

Get a pitcher who claims to throw a "rising fastball". set him up on a mound with two strings set in front of him. If he can throw a ball that travels under the first string and then over the second string, then I will believe in a rising fastball.

Or just take high-speed film from the side and show me a rise in trajectory. I've yet to even see something as simple as this.
