The break on the pitch is shorter than that of the curveball, and the release technique is 'between' those of a curveball and a fastball. The slider is similar to the cutter, a fastball pitch, but is more of a breaking ball than the cutter.The slider is also known as a yakker or a snapper. good, hard slider has a slight break across the plate and a slight drop on its plane to the hitter. It is important when throwing a slider, or any breaking pitch in baseball, not to come around the baseball.
What does probation mean? Probation is a judge placing limitations on your behavior for a period of time as part of your sentence. These limitations can include your having to do work in lieu of jail, pay a fine, and in the case of DUIs, attend and complete a DUI class. Probation is either informal (99.9% of misdemeanors) or formal (probation officer). Informal probation means that a judge ordered you to lead a law abiding life and to follow all terms of probation without the supervision of a probation officer.
In others, probation also includes supervision of those conditionally released from prison on parole. An offender on probation is ordered to follow certain conditions set forth by the court, often under the supervision of a probation officer. During the period of probation an offender faces the threat of being incarcerated if found breaking the rules set by the court or probation officer.
