Maybe it is the camera angle but that pitch certainly looks like it is breaking in to the right handed batter. I also agree that it looks like the pitch does not have much rotation.

I'm not sure what you are getting at.

This is an inside fastball. It has some top spin, but it is certainly not a drop ball.

I count 6 rotations of the ball from the time it left her hand to the plate. Assuming she is throwing around 60 MPH, the ball takes rough .5 seconds to go 40 feet. So, that makes it around 12RPS.

Good drop balls are 25 RPS and up.

First thing I thought when I opened this thread is off speed or change thrown inside
