What's this?

How much does pitching at 2000ft effect our rise ball pitchers?

The rise ball is one of the hardest pitches to perfect. But it is also one of the toughest pitches to hit. Of course all pitch movement depends on speed, spin and air density. It’s apparent I didn’t do much over Easter if I’m thinking about thinner air in Blacksburg😀
