I believe the answer is:
lob
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">a high ball?</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for lob that I've seen before include "Pollack" , "Send in a high arc as in tennis or cricket" , "Fling" , "Toss" , "Elevated shot" .)
