Trivia[]
- Until Baseball 2003, the change-up, screwball, and curveball pitches were known as "slowball", "left hook", and "right hook". According to creator Nick Mirkovich, this was done to simplify things for younger players, as the screwball and curveball would have been flipped for left-handed pitchers.[1]
