outswing

Ball veering outward

An outswing is a curving trajectory that moves away from something—typically a batter or goal.

In cricket, an outswinger curves away from a right-handed batsman.

In soccer, an outswinging corner or cross curves away from the goal.

The term also describes a door or gate that opens outward rather than inward.
