A curveball breaks due to the way it is thrown and the spin applied to the ball. When a pitcher throws a curveball, they impart topspin, causing the ball to experience a difference in air pressure around it. This difference creates a downward force, making the ball drop more sharply than a fastball. The combination of its speed and spin tricks the batter, resulting in the distinctive breaking motion.

What are the key differences between a slider and a curveball, and how can they be visually represented in a slider vs curveball diagram?
The key differences between a slider and a curveball are in their spin and movement. A slider has more side-to-side movement due to its lateral spin, while a curveball has more vertical drop due to its topspin. In a slider vs curveball diagram, the slider would show a more horizontal trajectory with a sharper break to the side, while the curveball would show a more arcing path with a downward drop. The spin direction and axis of rotation can also be represented to visually differentiate between the two pitches.
