Sinker (baseball)
In baseball, a sinker is a type of pitch in which the ball is spun so that it drops suddenly as it reaches the plate. Besides making the ball harder to hit, the downward motion also makes contact with the ball more likely to result in a ground ball.

A sinker can also be known as a sinking fastball. It is thrown with a two-seam fastball grip. Besides sinking down, the sinker can have sideways movement by applying more pressure to the index or the middle finger.
