Eephus pitch

An Eephus pitch in the sport of baseball is a junk pitch which has "nothing on it" -- very little velocity and catches the hitter off-guard. It is attributed to Rip Sewell of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1930s.

The Eephus is thrown overhand like most pitches, but is characterized by the unusual arc of its trajectory and its corresponding slow velocity, bearing more resemblence to a slow-pitch softball delivery.

Pitchers know to have employed the Eephus pitch include: Dave LaRoche, Bob Tewksbury, Orlando Hernandez.

Some nicknames for the Eephus include: LaLob, Folly Floater, Bloop Curve.
