1892 Outing Jan. 302/1 An old ball player..taught Harry to pitch and to try some curves and ‘in shoots’ of his own device.

1897 Earl of Suffolk et al. Encycl. Sport I. 74/2 A movement of the hand, an elevation of the head by the latter [sc. the catcher], lets the pitcher know that this ball is to be an in-shoot, the other an out-curve.

1904 Sci. Amer. 16 July 42/3 The right-handed pitcher delivers his ‘outshoot’ with much greater effect of incurve at the plate than he can accomplish with his ‘inshoot’... The speed of the ball for ‘outshoot’ and ‘inshoot’ is the same.

1940 H. L. Mencken Happy Days 230 When I ventured on an inshoot it was apt to be recovered, not by the catcher, but by the third baseman.
