eephus

The naming of the pitch is generally credited to Maurice Van Robays in 1942, who said "it's a nothin' pitch, and eephus ain't nothing'". However, it is not clear what the source for the name is; possibly Hebrew אפס (“nothing, zero”).

2003, Michael Seidel, Ted Williams: a baseball life:

When, on his first pitch, Sewell served an eephus, Williams almost broke his back trying to get to it.

nothing ball

If he cannot throw a fast ball, he may be able to get by on a nothing ball (a term coined for Wes Ferrell's looping delivery, which, though it doesn't curve, is hard to hit).

ugly finder

ugly finders (plural)
ugly-finder (alternative)

I tried to duck under the ball, but it was definitely an ugly finder.

1989 August 12, Mitch Williams, quotee, “There's never a dull moment with the Cubs' 'Wild Thing'”, in Minneapolis Star-Tribune:

"That ball was an ugly-finder," [Rob] Dibble said. "But I consider that good luck. No broken nose, no stitches and no black eye."

1996 March 1, Barry Rozner, quoting Rob Dibble, “Dibble survives an ugly scare”, in Daily Herald, page 5:

"The unique thing about this team though is that of the eight position players - all are either new or are playing a different position," he [Bill Matthews] said. "With something like that, you just hope the ball doesn't become an ugly-finder."

2003 February 9, Rodney Page, quoting Bill Matthews, “Tritons count on the pitching staff to deliver”, in St. Petersburg Times, page 4:

Everybody was trying to throw the ugly-finder at him, and we still couldn't find him.

2010, Jason Turbow with Michael Duca, quoting Ed Whitson, The Baseball Codes: Beanballs, Sign Stealing, and Bench-Clearing Brawls: the Unwritten Rules of America's Pastime, Random House, Inc., →ISBN, page 134:

[t͡sɨma̠ɾɯ̟]

2021 September 4, “Yakyū ‘tsumaru’ to wa? [What is ‘tsumaru’ in baseball?]”, in Baseball Future:

The most likely cause of tsumaru is that the [batter’s] timing is off. Swing too soon and you will miss the ball or hit it with the end of the bat. On the other hand, swing too late so the head of the bat doesn’t come around and you can easily experience tsumari.

まず圧倒的に詰まる原因となりやすいのは、タイミングが取れていない場合です。タイミングを早めにとってしまうと、空振りやバットの先端に当たってしまいます。逆にタイミングが遅れてしまうとバットのヘッドが出てくるのも遅れ、詰まりやすくなってしまいます。

Mazu attōteki ni tsumaru gen'in to nari yasui no wa, taimingu ga toreteinai bāi desu. Taimingu o hayame ni totte shimau to, karaburi ya batto no sentan ni atatte shimaimasu. Gyaku ni taimingu ga okurete shimau to batto no heddo ga dete kuru no mo okure, tsumari yasukunatte shimaimasu.

dust off a batter

en-verb

dust off a batter (third-person singular simple present dusts off a batter, present participle dusting off a batter, simple past and past participle dusted off a batter)

dusts off a batter (present singular third-person)
dusting off a batter (participle present)
dusted off a batter (participle past)
dusted off a batter (past)

From the concept that a pitch thrown very close to a batter will remove some dust or dirt from the batter's uniform either by brushing against it or causing a breeze very close to it, or alternatively by the batter jumping away from the pitch to avoid being hit.

That pitcher doesn't like the hitters too close to the plate so every once in a while he'll dust off a batter.

He never attempted to dust off a batter; and his control was so great that no hitter was ever afraid to stand right up to the plate and look Matty's fast ball right in the eye.

1947, Robert Smith, Baseball: a historical narrative of the game, the men who have played it, and its place in American life, page 206:

(idiomatic, baseball) for a pitcher to throw a pitch at or near the batter, typically to frighten the batter or to have him stand farther away from home plate.

163rd game

One game beyond the customary length of the Major League Baseball season, 162 games.

Much to the surprise of both the Red Sox and the Yankees, the Yankees lost. The Red Sox, however, did not. ¶ As a result, baseball's two best teams would be facing each other in a 163rd game. The winner would take on the Kansas City Royals in the league championship series, the prelude to the World Series, […]

2008, Richard Bradley, The Greatest Game, Free Press, →ISBN, page x:

The win-loss percentage is simply the number of games won divided by the total number of games played (the total number of games played is 162 at the end of the regular season). If two teams are tied at the end of the regular season, a 163rd game will be scheduled to break the tie.

2016, Dan Formosa, Paul Hamburger, Baseball Field Guide, 3rd edition, New York: The Experiment, →ISBN, page 18:

After the 162-game season, the Rays and the Rangers were both 91–71 and tied for the second wild-card spot in the AL. That meant a 163rd game was needed to decide who would go to the playoffs.

2023, Luke Hanlon, Tampa Bay Rays, Minneapolis: Abdo Publishing, →ISBN, page 29:

yellow hammer

Watching the ballgame today someone broke off a real good curve and I said, "That was a real yellow hammer."

Williams, getting steady doses of Koufax's "yellow hammer," struck out looking at a curve, Sandy's fifth K.

2004, Michael Coffey, 27 Men Out: Baseball's Perfect Games, updated edition, page 106

“Bastard curveball” is one of several names in baseball for a virtually unhittable curve that breaks so sharply it qualifies as yet another marvel of physics. Yakker. Bowel-locker. Yellow hammer. Take your pick.

2006, John Schuerholz, Larry Guest, Built to Win: Inside Stories And Leadership Strategies from Baseball's Winningest GM:

"[…]I know my baseball, and this kid was a beast. His fastball was okay, a cutter in the low nineties, but it was his dirty deuce that was outright nasty.”
DeBorn frowned. “Dirty deuce?”
“You know—the dirty yellow hammer . . . the yakker. Public enemy number two. A breaking ball, Bert! This kid had a breaking ball that was like hitting a lead shot put[…]"
