A hanging curveball is a curveball that is thrown in a way that makes it easier to hit. A good example of one is a slow curveball that is thrown down the middle. If you get one of these babies thrown to you while your at the plate, swing at it. It is an easy pitch to crush for a dinger or at least a double.

Kind of like a sinker but his fingers are a little bit higher on the seams. So his fingers are about in between a curveball and a sinker. And I am talking about the traditonal grip for a curveball.

The key differences between a slider and a curveball are in their spin and movement. A slider has more side-to-side movement due to its lateral spin, while a curveball has more vertical drop due to its topspin.
In a slider vs curveball diagram, the slider would show a more horizontal trajectory with a sharper break to the side, while the curveball would show a more arcing path with a downward drop. The spin direction and axis of rotation can also be represented to visually differentiate between the two pitches.

A curveball is a type of pitch in baseball that actually curves as it reaches home plate.
A curveball is not a good pitch for young children to throw, because to throw a curveball, you must flick your wrist, which is not good for a young child's wrist.
There have been debates on whether a curveball actually curves, or if the pitch actually curves when it reaches the plate.
Some nicknames for a curveball are "the bender," "the hook," "Uncle Charlie," "the hammer," "the yakker," "Public Enemy Number 1," or "a breaking pitch."

Fastball, Curveball, Changeup, Slider, Cutter, 2-Seamer.
In his prime his fastball was about 92-93 MPH. His big, 12-6 curve was the what he was famous for....during the late 90s it was probably the best curveball in the game. His threw it about 70 MPH. The rest of his pitches were pretty average, but his fastball and that curveball were more than enough.

The average speed of a curveball in baseball is typically around 75-85 miles per hour, but it can vary depending on the pitcher and level of play. The speed of a curveball is slower than a fast ball but the movement of the pitch can make it harder for batters to hit.

A 12-6 curveball is a breaking ball that has only downwards movement. However, it's unlike a sinker in that a sinker breaks at a sort of right angle while a 12-6 is in more of an arc and generally breaks harder and more. It's a very effective pitch to throw.

The answer is different depending on what you're asking. If your wondering how much a curveball drops realitive to how much break it has it will usually drop 66% more than it goes to the side. However if you're wondering how much it drops period that REALLY varies on a case to case to basis. For instance, if you take a Josh Beckett curveball that's going to drop sometimes over a foot. While some pitchers will throw it and hardly get anything on it at all, as if all of them are hanging. You just have to try it and see what happens.

To throw a curveball effectively in baseball, a pitcher can use strategies such as gripping the ball with the index and middle fingers along the seams, applying pressure on the inside of the ball, and snapping the wrist while releasing the ball to create spin. This spin causes the ball to break or curve as it approaches the batter, making it harder to hit. Additionally, varying the arm angle and release point can also help deceive the batter and make the curveball more effective.

Not entirely sure what a curveball is, but the physics behind it is quite simple.
When a pitcher throws the ball, it goes straight, but gravity is also pulling it down.
Since it is goiig forward, it creates a downward curve.
To make it go left or right, just position yourself on the opposite side of the position you choose.

The first step is to read the pitcher. Many pitchers at the youth level give away the fact that they are throwing a curveball before they even start a motion, ie. they dig around in their glove a lot, trying to find the right seams. Second step is once the motion starts, see if there is a change in the arm slot. This is something that cant always be done, but especially later in the game, it should be recognizable. Third step is one an old coach taught me, and takes a trained eye to see. Different pitches have different spins, and because of the spin, a red dot is created by the laces while its thrown. If you train yourself well enough, the red dot can be seen in time to know what pitch is coming. A red dot on top means fast ball, and anywhere else on the ball is something off speed. If either of these steps lead you to believe that you should be anticipating a curveball, then follow the next steps. While I say ANTICIPATING a curveball, you should never SIT on a curveball. As a batter, you look for a fastball first, and adjust to offspeed pitches. So if it IS a curveball being thrown to you, the best thing to remember is DO NOT LUNGE. If you are lucky enough to hit the ball, it wont matter because it should be an out. If you see the curveball, sit back and wait for the ball to reach you, and trust your hand speed. If you have slow hands, theres only so much I can do to help you. But one of the hardest things for younger batters to learn how to do is wait on pitches, especially off speed pitches on the outer third of the plate. If a pitcher hangs one on the inside or over the middle, go ahead and just blast it. If its on the outside, let the ball travel deep, not everything needs to be hit in front of the plate, and slap the ball out into right field. Thats as much as I can put in writing about hitting a curveball.
