A 12-6 curveball is a breaking ball that has only downwards movement. However, it's unlike a sinker in that a sinker breaks at a sort of right angle while a 12-6 is in more of an arc and generally breaks harder and more. It's a very effective pitch to throw.

What does the 12-6 sign mean?

The 12-6 sign typically refers to a specific type of pitch in baseball, where the ball moves in a vertical motion, dropping from a high point (12 o'clock) to a low point (6 o'clock). This term is often used to describe a curveball or a similar pitch that has a significant downward trajectory. It can also be seen in the context of sports like boxing, where it denotes a strike thrown vertically from above the opponent's head down to their body.

The most basic pitch is the fastball. There is also the change-up, curveball, drop-ball, rise-ball, screwball, drop-curve, rise-curve, and knuckleball. So, I guess there are nine different softball pitches. Hope that helped!


How can a ball thrown vertically have the same time flight as a ball thrown at an angle when they have the same maximum height?

They might seem like they have the same flight patterns, but they don't. A 12-6 curveball thrown by an over-hander will go from 12 to 6, but if the same is thrown by a 3/4 or side-armer, the ball will react a little more like a slider.
