🥎 Meatball: An easy pitch to hit because it’s thrown over the middle of the plate.

🥎 Windmill: She removed the term because today’s softball world no longer uses it to describe pitching mechanics. (Windup is now the common way to describe the softball pitching motion.)

🥎 Cutter: Identified as a baseball term—not commonly used in softball.

“They send me all of their baseball, softball-related definitions to me for review … for additions [and] subtractions”

And Ali’s favorite softball-related term? It’s “Orchard,” which is an old-school term for the outfield. That’s where she’s playing for the Cascade this season.
