Definitions
(basketball, baseball, slang) Someone who is extremely good at throwing or shooting balls.
Unlike steroids, these supposedly illegal substances were not used in secret. There was an understanding that it was in everyone's best interest — pitchers and hitters alike — for today's flamethrowers to have a good grip on the ball.
