two-seamer
Movement-heavy fastball type
A two-seamer is a fastball grip in baseball where the pitcher places two fingers along the seams of the ball rather than across them.
The grip creates more movement than a four-seam fastball, causing the pitch to sink or tail as it approaches the plate: His two-seamer was running in on right-handed hitters all night.
