Most pither's Curveball's are thrown slower then there fastballs. Usually about 10 mph slower. so if a major league pitcher throws a 95 mph fastball the curveball would be about 85. However there are some pitchers whose curveball's go the same speed as their fastball.
Great question. The pitchers command means that his pitches are doing what he wants them to do. If his intent is to throw a curve ball, then the ball will curve. The pitcher has control when the pitches he throws are staying in the strike zone like he wants. If he wants to throw a ball, then he is throwing balls. your curveball can curve, your breaking ball can break, your slider will slide, and your fastball is fast.... however if you can't get it over the plate ( or reasonably within range), you have no control.
A cross between a fast ball and a curve ball is called a slider.
When a fast ball and curve ball are mixed together it is called a slider.
you can steal on a over throw but you cant steal on a foul ball. A foul ball is a dead ball and the ball is not live again until the next pitch.
A fast ball is when the pitchers throws the ball straight at the strike zone, it doesn't curve (curve ball) or lower (slider), it goes straight ahead.

It all depends on what pitch the pitcher is throwing, fastball are faster than curve balls, changeups. The average speed of a fastball in the MLB is 93 MPH.

Yes, the curve ball curves. This is because of the way the ball is thrown, which is a kind of a spin/jerky fast motion.
A fast ball has more velocity and does not move as much as a curveball
88 mph
