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.

What are the key differences between a slider and a curveball, and how can they be visually represented in a slider vs curveball diagram?
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.

Why does a curveball break?
A curveball breaks due to the way it is thrown and the spin applied to the ball. When a pitcher throws a curveball, they impart topspin, causing the ball to experience a difference in air pressure around it. This difference creates a downward force, making the ball drop more sharply than a fastball. The combination of its speed and spin tricks the batter, resulting in the distinctive breaking motion.
