Every pitch in baseball has what's called Vertical and Horizontal movement as it approaches the plate. Vertical and Horizontal movement is defined as the magnitude of “break” a pitch has, either up or down (vertical), or laterally (horizontal). Essentially, both movements indicate the pitch's trajectory deviating from a straight line as it crosses the plate.
