Most likely a slider. It has the properties of a curve, but it has the speed of a fastball.

What is the difference between a pitcher's command and a pitcher's control?

Great question. The pitchers command means that his pitches are doing what he wants them to do. If his intent is to throw a curve ball, then the ball will curve. The pitcher has control when the pitches he throws are staying in the strike zone like he wants. If he wants to throw a ball, then he is throwing balls. your curveball can curve, your breaking ball can break, your slider will slide, and your fastball is fast.... however if you can't get it over the plate ( or reasonably within range), you have no control.

What two factors keep the planets moving in elliptical orbits and determine how fast they orbit?

The main factors are the masses of the Sun and planets, the forces of gravity between them, and the existing rotation (angular momentum) in the system. The forward speed of the planets and their inertia prevent them from falling in towards the sun where the gravitational force comes from, so they continue on their path and just curve in towards the sun continuously under effect of the force, just like if you threw a ball fast enough it would curve downwards as fast as the horizon curved down under it.
