sky ball
Towering lazy out
A sky ball is a ball hit or thrown extremely high into the air, typically in baseball or softball.
The term emphasizes vertical trajectory over distance—a towering pop fly that seems to disappear into the sky before dropping: He lost the sky ball in the sun.
Sometimes called a sky-high ball or simply a can of corn when it's an easy catch.
