A curve will typically break sooner than a splitter as well. This is partially due to the velocity at which a splitter is thrown and as a result curveballs better have more break because the batter has a chance to see it longer. If the curve doesn't have a ton of movement it "hangs" and those are pitches often hit and hit well.Dyslexics are teople poo...

Originally posted by CJF View Post12-6 curve refers to a straight down break. No side to side movement. A true 12-6 is typically the hardest curve to hit and when hit, it creates a higher amount of ground balls.

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

BYU has won six in a row. They haven't done that since Cory Snyder and Wally Joyner played there.

Originally posted by Topper View PostIt would be great to have exciting baseball at BYU again. Apparently there is an outfielder who won't play for a few weeks that is expected to contribute significantly. I have many fond memories sitting in the stands watching the ball pop out of the field routinely down west of the MC. I remember sadly when BYU wilted in the heat of Tempe when they were ranked 3d.

Originally posted by BlueK View PostAnother one, Kyle Dean, is already lighting it up. He may be BYU's highest rated freshman since Joyner."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

Originally posted by Goatnapper'96 View PostI could go along and pretend like I know what is meant by a 12/6 curve ball but I don't. Are you talking like a clock where the ball moves from 12 to 6? I would think a 3 to 9 or 9 to 3 would be more impressive but that is so intuitively obvious I am assuming that is not what you mean.
I did watch Vin Scully commentate Dodger games on KTTV Channel 11 back in the day as well as Turner's "America's Team" on TBS so I get some baseball, but apparently not as much as I thought.
