How much does a curveball drop?

Answer 1

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.
