Slurve is a term coined in baseball to describe a breaking pitch that combines the movement of a slider and curveball. However, there are several synonyms used for the same pitch, including the slurveball, slurvy curve, and the slushie. Some players and coaches use different terms, such as the screwball, the curve-slider, or the curveball-slider, depending on how the pitch is thrown. Each synonym aims to portray the unique characteristics of the pitch's movement, with slight variations in the angles or the amount of spin applied by the pitcher. Despite the different names, the slurve remains a challenging pitch to hit and a powerful weapon in any pitcher's arsenal.
