Cutter?
-
Anyone notice how the cutter, slider and sweeper all have the same break?

Serious question, and I don't mean to insult you, but are you new to the game of baseball?

They're different pitches altogether, but I'll concede the cutter right now has WAY too much horizontal break to it.
-
Why does the sweeper have different breaks depending on the pitcher?some it looks like a slurve some it looks like a slider with a ton more break,some look like cutter and one pitcher it looked like a curveball.( pitcher offset view).
I thought it was supposed to have tremendous horizontal(like a slider) but hardly any vertical (like a cutter) but slower than a slider? -
@PAinPA_PSN Cause it's this years Slurve.
They filled in pitchers mixes with Slurve's last year and Sweepers this year. And they may as well just call it the Hanger.

No, imo they do not and I have seen many of them

Isn’t just a sweeper thing, it applies to all pitches. You can really tell a difference using strike zone camera with the pitch chevron break view setting. I find it pretty hard to see the difference between a lot of pitches from behind the pitcher.

That's not it, no matter who is throwing it left side, right side, overhand,high 3/4,low 3/4 a curveball still looks like a curve and a changeup still looks like a changeup,etc. it doesn't look like different pitches.
