What is a "curve"?
A curve in baseball or softball is a type of pitch that moves in a curved or bending path as it approaches the batter. The pitcher throws the ball with spin, causing it to break or curve in one direction. This movement makes it harder for the batter to hit the ball, as it changes direction unexpectedly. A curveball can be thrown with different speeds and can curve sharply, making it a valuable pitch for deceiving the batter. It is often used to get batters to swing and miss or to hit the ball poorly.
Example
The pitcher threw a curve that fooled the batter completely.
The pitcher relied on his curve to get out of tough situations.
