You have visual perception It's just that everyones visual perception is lying to them. Don't you get it SA It's not what we see that's real it's what we're told that's really real.
shhhhhh only the pitchers, catchers and hitters can speak of the RISER. Occasionally an announcer will refer to this god like phenomena, but never by name lest he be struck down in the booth. What he sees though is so real to him that he describes it by saying 'riding high' or 'climbing the stairs' but he'll never ever say the R word because he knows (because he's been told) it doesn't exist.
Don't ever believe your eyes SA they're liars, and da@@ good at it.
If God or physicists intended for baseballs to rise then he/they would have put a leading edge on it.
I feel so much better now SA, the world was against me, now I'm with the world and the world is never wrong. Join me will you?

Again, it is very easy to prove if the rising fastball exists or not. There is plenty of technology out there that can track the path of a pitched ball. Show me one piece of footage that shows a pitch starting in a downward trajetory and then changing to an upward trajectory and I will believe in the rising fastball. Hell, show me a pitch that just stays on the same plane for a few feet and then starts rising and I will believe it.
