Thank you for the clarification, kq76. I think you're safe on at least a couple of your assumptions; the original names of the cutter and and splitter were 'cut fastball' and 'split-fingered fastball'.

Edit: As the boys in the booth discussed during the Thursday doubleheader, there's a specialty category that includes such things as very slow knuckleballs, folly floaters and eephus pitches. What they seem to have in common is very low velocity — maybe down to as little as 40 mph — and high arcs.

Do you know anything about the knuckle curve, nickle curve and circle curve? (For as much as I know, they might all be the same thing.)
