An off speed pitch is any type of pitch other than a fastball of any kind. In other words, an off speed pitch is any type of pitch that is not thrown with maximum speed. Examples are a curve, a slider, a sinker, a screwball, etc.

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.

Is a softball motion easier than a baseball motion?

A softball pitch is a lot harder to master than a baseball pitch because the motion is so different than regular throwing. However, once the pitcher has the motion down, the softball pitch is much easier on the body than a baseball pitch. This is because the softball pitch is a lot smoother than the violent baseball pitch. It cause a lot less shoulder injuries than a baseball pitch.
