    Critics of the slurve call the pitch a sloppy slider because of its wide break. They claim that the slurve produces more home runs than a late-breaking slider. [1] The usefulness of the slurve is debated. The slurve is also claimed to cause problems to a pitcher. In 1998, Kerry Wood claimed his elbow soreness was caused by throwing the slurve. [3]

    A slurve often occurs when a pitcher applies excessive force to a curveball with insufficient finesse, resulting in a slight pronation at the release point rather than a full supination. Alternatively, a slurve can develop from over-supination when throwing a slider, leading to what is sometimes referred to as a "slurvy slider."
