The question of the effect of the increased distance of the delivery in regard to the curve has now to be considered. With some pitchers the full effect of the curve bias imparted to the ball does not begin to be apparent until the ball is almost over the plate; while with others its full force does not become apparent until after passing the plate. With a few the curve is seen within a few yards of the plate. Now, the five feet increase will materially benefit the long-distance curve-pitchers, while it will most likely have a reserve effect on the short-distance curvers.
