No, I certainly don't mean that but, there's a huge difference between a FP change-up and an arcing slow pitch.

Visually maybe ... but not by rule. A pitch is a pitch.

There are a couple HS pitchers in my area that aren't going to get the ball to the plate without a hump on it, some reach 6'

When I say "slow-pitch", I'm talking 10'-12' foot arc or more. I was under the belief that a fast-pitch, pitch could not have that much arc on it.
Obviously, I was incorrect in my assumtion.

Thanx to all for the clarification.
