Not quite. A softball riseball will enter the zone higher than its release point. A baseball high strike will have a downward trajectory from start to finish. In baseball, a slightly upward barrel path may match the plane of a high strike pitch. This may not be the case with a softball riseball.
Probably (a lot) easier said than done, but would a good strategy on riseballs be just to lay off them? How many called strikes are there on properly (as in location) thrown riseballs? Can a good
hitter pick up the spin on riseballs?
Probably showing my naivete regarding fastpitch here
