Slurve
The slurve is a baseball pitch in which the pitcher throws a slider as if it were a curve ball.〔("The Mechanics Of A Breaking Pitch" ), ''Popular Mechanics'', April 1997. Accessed July 6, 2007.〕 The term is a portmanteau of the words "slider" and "curve".
==History==
The first pitcher to use the slurve pitch is unknown. Johnny Sain of the Boston Braves was known to throw a slurve in the 1940s.〔Liptak, M.("Johnny Sain Remembered" ), ''White Sox Interactive''. Accessed July 6, 2007.〕 On May 6, 1998 Kerry Wood of the Chicago Cubs utilized the slurve in a major-league record tying twenty strikeout game.〔 Former Los Angeles Dodgers, Yakult Swallows and current Seibu Lions pitcher Kazuhisa Ishii, despite his well-documented control problems, uses a slurve almost exclusively against left-handers. Alfredo Aceves from the Boston Red Sox was also known to throw a slurve pitch. Popular rookie of 2010 Stephen Strasburg claims to throw a slurve although experts still call his pitch a curveball. Hall of Fame relief pitcher Goose Gossage stated that learning how to throw a slurve changed his career in his Yankeeography. Both Cy Young and Walter Johnson had slurves in their arsenals and Cy Young is the earliest known user of the pitch, having started his career in 1890.
