Ya and she is a good pitcher

[@kloewasham6070]

she is soooooo pretty

[@ebbss4]

I see softball pitchers today have such stupid wind ups and deliveries. Finch is just so simple and that’s one of the reasons she’s successful

[@kaseyloftis8920]

I know this comment is old but I have noticed that and thought I was the only one that got so annoyed with that. Do you really need to spend 10 seconds on all these little springs and movements that don't even contribute to the pitch? I love that about Finch too...just a simple wind up and throw.

Illegal pitch

[@kayleigh9959]

it’s not illegal

[@claraphariss1045]

I noticed it also she replanted her foot

[@madalynnrae2747]

International rules allow that

[@cjrouse9508]

In order to make a rise ball "rise" you would have to throw it over 90mph and at twice the fastest record spin rate ever thrown.

[@juanvante]

Which from the looks of your face, you would never come close to those speeds!

I am not the one criticizing top level professionals

[@cjrouse9508]

@@juanvante I'm correcting their misconception. The ball does not "rise" it simply falls at a slower rate... Simple physics..

@@juanvante unlike these athletes I am a mathematician and qualified to speak on the topic.. Look up bernoulli's principle and the Magnus effect if you feel like learning something today...
