This solves it for good!
 
Hopefully, without causing much commotion, this video proves--beyond a shadow of a doubt--that there is such thing as a rising fastball, and should put an end to this tired debate:

Thanks Kevin, I think we all needed a touch of humor during these trying times.

That pitch certainly got the attention of the person in the white shirt leaning over the railing.

Wait! I'm confused! Does this mean that the myth of the rising fastball has been disproved?

Oh I just love stirring the pot! :eek:

And then there's Rod Beck--a guy who put his millions to work to help children with catastrophic illness.

And one of the most spectacular of all of baseball's great mullets.

I've seen them rising fast balls.......in softball.....also seen a couple in baseball... when the gunslinger was draging his knuckles off the dirt with every pitch....oh wait... you meant from an overhand delivery:D

The fastballs are high.
The curve balls are low.
Gravity and spin solves it for good!

I decided to venture over to the bktball board.
"While I have you attention" caught my attention.
