Definition: Tumbler (Forward Spin) Pitch

A tumbler pitch in slo-pitch softball is a type of pitch where the ball is released with forward spin, causing it to “tumble” as it approaches the batter. This motion can make the ball harder to track and hit effectively, as it often drops more sharply than a standard pitch.
