To the batter the slider properly thrown has the batter thinking he is facing a fastball. This among other things fools the batter and he is not expecting the ball to waver in its flight to home plate. I filled in part of the discussion area to explore this pitch in more depth.
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.

What kind of pitch is a slider?
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 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.
