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.

What is the best thing about the baseball pitch called the slider?

What is the difference between a hanging slider and a regular slider?

The term "hanging," in reference to any type of pitch, means the pitch just hung out over the plate, giving the batter an excellent chance to hit it. It generally results from the pitcher didn't throw the pitch in the way he intended to throw it, and the ball then just went right over the plate. In that sense, a hanging curveball, a hanging slider, or a hanging screwball are all pretty much the same thing: a pitch that didn't do what the pitcher wanted it to do.
