Pitch - break on it
Hi,
A: What now? You flip it to a Chinese national company at a steep profit just to rub it in my face?
B: Actually, no. But you can if you want because I'm selling it to you. At my cost.
A: Well that pitch had some break on it I didn't pick up.
B: Well, I knew you'd be leaning into the fastball of me selling off a chunk of Americana, so I had to come with the hook
Could you tell me what 'that pitch had some break on it' means in this case? Is it a baseball reference?
Thank you.
