I found this clip today and I wanted to share in an earlier Riseball discussion.

At the time Michelle Smith was known as a riseball pitcher.

Note that the ball is dropping going through the zone and the catcher pushes the glove upwards (even though the ball trajectory is moving down).

I wish the ball markers were darker. A little hard to see.

love the hair flying around

noticed the swing right away too - initially, the batter looks way late, but looking at it more, it may just be b/c she's so far under it. If you notice, she starts her load at pitch release, and while it looks like she's trying to be a RH slap hitter, she somehow gets enough bat speed going to possibly hit it square IF she was on plane with the pitch.
