What "knuckleball" means in baseball
A knuckleball in baseball is a type of pitch that is characterized by its erratic and unpredictable movement. This is because the pitcher throws the ball with minimal spin, causing it to move in a seemingly random pattern as it approaches the plate. The knuckleball is considered one of the most difficult pitches to hit, and only a handful of pitchers in the major leagues are able to consistently throw it effectively.
