Information
has glosseng: Cleanup|date=April 2008}} The curveball (also known as the bender, and Uncle Charlie), is a breaking pitch in baseball thrown with a characteristic grip and hand movement that imparts downward spin to the ball. It is therefore considered a type of breaking ball. Contrary to a fastball (which has only back spin), the curveball has a down spin that causes it to drop as it approaches the plate. A curveball can be used to disrupt the opponent's timing by taking velocity off the ball, or trick the opponent by either throwing the ball up and out of the strike zone making the batter think it is a ball while the ball drops back into the strike zone for a strike or the pitcher can throw it in the strike zone causing the ball the break out of the strike zone making the batter fish for the ball. The curveball, however, requires mastery and the ability to pinpoint the balls location.
