42 Mariano Rivera mo the sandman New York AL 1995-2013 Hall of fame signature shirt in the direction of their spin. That ball would move up and slightly in on a right-handed batter. The turbulence and higher pressure would be under that ball in reaction to the oncoming spin. You got the Magnus Effect reversed. The pressure he puts on the ball is with his middle finger off-axis and therefore creates angled topspin. Topspin is the only way a ball can break down. Actually, Rivera’s repertoire consisted of 3 pitches, all fastballs. A question about the low pressure, in a knuckleball there is no spin, so where is the low pressure? Don’t get me wrong, I hate the Yankee’s but, Mariano is a class act and baseball won’t be the same without him. Heck, half the reason plenty of people don’t like baseball is that if anything the game is pretty dependent on having skills that don’t necessarily carry over very well to other sports.
