As I posted earlier, a fastball CAN rise. I can prove it mathematically, and yes, I was a physics major.

Of course, to rise, it must be thrown at over 135 MPH...

PS - by RULE, an ambidextrous pitcher can pitch to 1 batter righty and the next lefty. He just can't switch during a single batter.

I believe the real life example of this's name was Monte Williams in the Expos farm system, about 5 years ago.
