The ball is tossed with a direct movement. Upon the discharge, the ball first leaves the thumb, sliding off the fore and center fingers at the highest point of the tossing movement, giving reverse-pivot on the ball. The reverse-pivot on the ball, alongside the activity of the four creases all turning into the course of the toss, demonstration to balance out the ball's flight. The bearing of twist on the ball makes lift, to some degree balancing gravitational draw. The pitch comes normally to most pitchers (or any individual who tosses a baseball), and is frequently one of the first pitches taught to youthful pitchers. This is on the grounds that the pitch requires next to no unnatural movement and the ball falls off the fingers effortlessly in the way the pitch was expected to be tossed. It is the most widely recognized pitch tossed by most pitchers, and all pitchers at any level can toss the four-seamer as a component of their collection.

The four-seamer is proposed to overwhelm hitters with its speed. A fruitful four-seamer pitch overcomes the strike zone before the hitter can focus its speed and bearing. In this manner, the speedier and all the more precisely a four-seamer pitch is tossed, the more powerful it will be. A powerful four-crease fastball is exceptionally troublesome for a hitter to get around on, and to get the sweet spot of the bat on, in light of the fact that the hitter must swing ahead of schedule to make up for lost time to the pitch.

Glint combination edge is characterized as the recurrence at which a discontinuous light jolt seems, by all accounts, to be totally relentless to the normal human spectator; e.g., for a progression of pictures to seem to make a moving picture, the recurrence of the photo indicated to a viewer must be changed at a rate more prominent than the gleam combination edge. The flash combination limit for people is around 60 Hz.

A noteworthy alliance pitcher tosses a baseball with a twist of around 20 turns for each second (RPS). A four-crease fastball has four creases crossing the vision of the player, subsequently delivering a glimmer rate of 80 Hz.
