Mapache11- this isn't baseball it's softball. It's not an illusion we throw underhand so you just get under the ball. In baseball yes it is an illusion. In softball it's really rises.
Gosh, I wish I played softball! All my friends play and I really want too, but I don't really know how to play that well. Is it possible to play with a tennis ball?
@RapperSahar um no...pick up a softball, then pickup a tennis ball. throw it, hit it, catch it. it ain't the same. and its never too late to start!!! join a rec team!!

it kills me that people stil swing at riseballs...as a pitcher i still throw it because batters are so horny they can`t lay off it. its all about spin recognition, the riser has a very distinctinctive spin that for some reason batters can;t recognize. but once they do it will be ball after ball. thats when you hit em with the inside cut fastball.
@jonsand3rson ..it crosses the plate higher thna where she releases it. It does not suddenly "jump". It is impossible for a person to put enough rotation and speed on an object as heavy as a softball for it to overcome gravity.
@live2playsb ...Nothing can defy gravity, that's why it is a law. The rising pitch has been proven to be an illusion. It is humanly impossible to put enough speed and rotation on the ball.
@psufan38 I have seen several videos done with high speed cameras. It is impossible to make the ball "hop" or "jump" even when thrown underhand. The ball is too heavy for any human to put enough rotation on it to overcome gravity. The ball ball does "rise" as it goes from the pitcher's hand to the plate, but as you said, it is only because it is being thrown underhand.
Jennie, my girl hasnt thought about the thing that freaked me out in baseball, and that was a linedrive after your pitch,,,,how quick do you ready yourself,, I know you are Jennie Finch but you gotta prep for the "ugly-streight-up the middle" quick hit,,right at you. Is it a fear? Dont hold back on a response, I'm scared just thinking about what I've seen.
Very informative, but too quick for starters; its allmost as though you dont want to "give away" any secrets. Remember Jennie you have a gift, others have to work harder for it. Dont worry, your crown is safe!
The riseball is an illusion. It only seems to "hop"because the batter expects the ball to be lower when it gets near the plate. You would have to throw the ball around 90mph and with about 35rpsec to have a chance to overcome gravity.
Jennie is a great softball and olympic player. I wish that someday I could be a great pitcher like her. My friends and family and sometimes the other teams coaches would say that I would be a good pitcher. I have been at the pitchers position since I was 4 or 5 years old and now I am 12.

Rise balls do not really rise. They just fall at a different rate than the batter expects and the batter swings under the pitch.
I am not saying it isn't a great pitch. i have seen professional baseball players that can't hit it very well. Maybe it just needs a new name.

Obviously the pitch is good. It is just misnamed.
