Experts have time and time again proposed that the myth of a rising fastball has been perpetuated by real physics. By that I mean that what appears to some to be a rise in the pitch is actually a decline in it's trajectory that's less than the observer had anticipated. Tie that into proper tracking of pitches by the proper use of the eyes, and it does become of value to this forum.

I was afraid this thread had spun out of control.
Thanks for bringing the topic back down to earth.
