well they are different types of pitches

Fastball - thrown the hardest usually pretty straight, especially conpared to other pitches although some variations sink or run back in towards a hitter

Change-Up - thrown much slower than a fastball but much straighter than a curveball, used to give the hitter a different look and disrupt the timing of his swing, usually has some movement to it

Slider - much like a curveball only with a much sharper and flatter break, where a curve ball basically moves up to down for the most part a slider has more of a side to side motion, it is usually thrown harder than a curveball but not as fast as a fastball, they can also be very damaging to an undeveloped arm which is why it is advised that young pitchers should not start throwing it until they have reached a more physically mature age such as 18 or somewhere in that neighborhood

What are the different types of pitches used in baseball, and how do switch pitch balls affect the game?

There are several types of pitches used in baseball, including fastballs, curveballs, sliders, changeups, and more. Switch pitch balls, which can be thrown with either hand, add an element of surprise and challenge for batters, as they have to quickly adjust to the changing pitching style. This can make it more difficult for batters to anticipate the pitch and make solid contact, potentially giving the pitcher an advantage in the game.

What does serving up fastballs mean?

This is a phrase that means that all a pitcher is throwing is fastballs. This is not a good strategy because batters will be able to adjust and hit the ball easily because fastballs have no movement. Also this would tire out a pitchers arm a lot fast than if they threw different pitches.

What is a breaking ball in baseball?

a breaking ball is simply any pitch that curves, dips, dives, moves or does anything but go in a straight line. Curveballs, sliders, sinkers, slurves, screwballs and gyroballs are all examples of breaking balls. Note that changeups do not count as breaking balls, because their purpose is not to confuse the batter with a change in direction, but rather a change in speed. Knuckleballs are sort of a combination of offspeed and breaking balls, and I'm not sure what an eephus pitch is.
