| has gloss | eng: The fastball (also known as the hummer, the heat, heater, gas, and the cheese), is the most common type of pitch in baseball. Some "power pitchers," such as Nolan Ryan and Roger Clemens, have thrown it at speeds of 95–104 mph (152.9–167.3 km/h) (officially) and up to 107.9 mph (173.6 km/h) (unofficially), relying purely on speed to prevent the ball from being hit. Others throw more slowly but put movement on the ball or throw it on the outside of the plate where the batter cannot easily reach it. The appearance of a faster pitch to the batter can sometimes be achieved by minimizing the batter's vision of the ball before its release. The result is known as an "exploding fastball": a pitch that seems to arrive at the plate quickly despite its low velocity. Fastballs are usually thrown with backspin, so that the Magnus effect creates an upward force on the ball, causing it to fall less rapidly than might be expected. A pitch on which this effect is most marked is often called a "rising fastball", as the ball appears to rise to the batter. Colloquially, use of the fastball is called throwing heat or putting steam on it, among many other variants. |

| has gloss | deu: Fastball (oder auch heat oder heater) ist die schnellste Art einen Baseball zu werfen. Ein „normaler“ Major-League-Fastball ist etwa 90 mph (miles per hour, 145 km/h) schnell. 95 mph (153 km/h) gilt als sehr gut, und nur wenige erreichen die 100-mph-Marke (triple digits, 161 km/h). Beim Fastball greift man den Baseball mit Zeige- und Mittelfinger, und mit beiden Fingerkuppen auf der Längsseite der Naht des Balles, und lässt den Ball beim Wurf über diese Finger rollen. Der dabei entstehende Rückwärtsdrall (backspin) sorgt dafür, dass unter dem Ball Überdruck herrscht (der sog. Magnus-Effekt), weil die Nähte unter dem Ball gegen die Flugrichtung laufen. Bei einem schnell geworfenen Ball mit viel Rotation entsteht der Eindruck, der Ball würde steigen (rising fastball). Hitter beschreiben extrem schnelle Bälle manchmal als exploding fastballs oder als screaming fastballs, aufgrund des Surrens der Nähte im Flugwind und des Knalls wenn der Ball im Handschuh des Catchers landet. |

| has gloss | zho: 快速球是棒球比賽中最常見的球路。一些強力型投手，像是諾蘭·萊恩與藍迪·強森，都曾投出時速95—103英哩（153—165公里）的快速直球，並靠這個速度來避免球被打擊者擊中。其他投手投得較慢，但是會在球上做點動作或者盡量投在本壘板的外側使得打者不容易打到。有時候在球被投出去之前，若能減少打者看到球的時間，也能對打者造成球速上的錯覺，這種球路就是爆炸快速球（exploding fastball）：儘管速度不快，但是球似乎很快就到達本壘板了。快速球投出時球通常是逆轉前進的，依據馬格納斯效應的理論在球上就會產生一個上升的力量，這就使得球下墜的速度比預期的來得慢。若是在投球時讓這種效應更加明顯，這種球路就稱上升快速球（rising fastball），在打者眼中球就像是會往上飄似的。 |
