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.
For example, a sentence might consist of a jail term and, after release, probation for a specified period of months or years. Probation is generally reserved for persons sentenced to short terms in jail: it is not combined with a long prison sentence.
