Riseball physics and the Media?

Made this many years ago. The ball starts low then the path is creating a hump. It’s on its way down as it’s passing the hitter and into the glove.

That is some old style swinging. Just trying to make contact. Never will be quicker then the slingshot.

that much hair flying around, no wonder hitters struggled.

That's an old school softball swing there. Probably some hitting coaches out there teaching this type of swing because they already forgot more about softball than we will ever know.

I know I am in Ihe minority but I like her voice as an announcer. She bring enthusiasm and she is good for the game, IMO. Yeah, the pitch calling and some of the exaggeration might bother the softball experts but for the casual viewers she keeps it exciting.

I'm in the minority with you RH. I enjoy the broadcasts for the reasons you mentioned even if I know that the pitch that just hit the top of the zone with topspin was a missed drop, not a rise.

I don't have a problem with her voice. I have a problem with the specific sequence of sounds her voice makes because almost everything she says will make a novice viewer dumber about the sport.

I believe that's called "how to swing a 40oz solid metal bat".

At least we moved past the re enter rule being explained every time. How 70 is like a 100 every pitch.
