slurve
Breaking ball blend
A slurve is a baseball pitch that combines characteristics of a slider and a curve, breaking both laterally and downward.
The pitch sits between the two in speed and movement, giving batters an unfamiliar look: His slurve was unhittable tonight.
The term blends slider and curve.
