A slider is a baseball pitch that breaks, or moves sideways and/or downward as it approaches the catcher. It is harder to catch and hit, and is often used to confuse batters.
A slider is a pitch in baseball that breaks laterally and down. It is not thrown at the velocity that a fastball is thrown at, but its velocity is faster than a curve ball. The break on a slider is not as big as a curve ball. The slider is similar to a cut fastball, but will break more than a cut fastball.
The main difference between a slider and curveball is the way that they move. Imagine your throwing a slider at a clock. It would go from 3 to 9. However, if you were to throw a curveball at a clock it would go from about 1:30 to 7:30.

The slider is a good pitch to have as the batter sees the ball as a fastball but at the last moment the slider drops in front of home plate. Most batters can spot a curve ball by its spin or the pitching motion of the pitcher. The slider looks exactly like a fastball due to its speed and spin. A slider is thrown by grasping the ball with the index finger and middle finger not in the center of the ball, but off a bit to the right.
