Thanks Trevor for the perfect explanation. I was racking my brain trying to figure out all the terms being thrown out there.

[@TrevorMayBaseball]

Happy to help! I think broadcasts should just keep this one simple and use slider the vast majority of the time. The distinctions are only valuable to players for the most part.

​@@TrevorMayBaseballI completely agree. I kept hearing all year, "and there's a sweeper, and the next pitch, is another sweeper". I'm like, stop it already! 😆
I remember playing baseball video games decades ago, and the only pitches you had available were fastball, change-up, slider, curve, and sometimes forkball, depending upon who your pitcher was. And of course there was that rare pitcher who had the knuckleball. Usually Wakefield. He was a joy to watch. Still shocked he passed last month.

dude you had no command that's why you're out of baseball. location, movement and then velocity. as tom seaver said.

[@corradocampo]

He’s not saying which is most important. He’s saying which is most important if you’re trying to throw that specific variation of a slider

[@Mrflu55y]

He should have done that when he was with the Mets, maybe he wouldn't be retired
