Image via withleather.uproxx.com

Arms are cocked, firm grips perfected and smiles in full flight. There's nothing quite like watching beautiful women chuck professional balls farther, harder and more violently than the athletes we pay good money to watch.

With swimsuit supermodel Kate Upton showing off her rocket arm at the humorously-mislabeled "Fox Flash" yesterday, we felt the need to dig for more instances of hotties with balls (excuse the pun).

Ready yourself for a free fall towards athletic beauty, an intriguing, entertaining ride indeed.

Here are 50 pics of hotties tossing or enjoying pigskins, baseballs and whatever other piece of athletic equipment we can find. 

Prepare to duck.

With world-class beauty and off-the-chart skills, this hurler is quickly heading for greatness.

But seriously, she's got that innocent, yet feisty aura.

40. Victoria Beckham Remains at Large

Image via theoffside.com

This shot is presented more for a taste of humor than for its attempted sexiness.

37. Rima Fakih Works the Corners

36. Illegal Formation

And by throwing a ball we mean thrusting her pointer finger at the penalized footballer.

She's getting ready to put a lethal bend on that round mix of synthetic leather.

25. New Honcho in Town

Image via espn1530.com

Despite a glistening smile on her face, this fan shows us that true talent lies deep beneath the surface.

Blaine Gabbert may look the part of a fearless signal caller with the long-hair-don't-care approach, but a subtle trim may significantly improve his awareness.

24. The Multi-Talented Kate Upton

Image via sportznutz.com

She's thrown a football in heels, performed the Dougie at a Clippers game and chucked a neon-bright baseball (here during the 2011 MLB All-Star festivities).

What more can Kate Upton possibly do to get noticed?

23. Earning Her Doll-Hairs

She may seem to be taking the ball to the house herself, but this fan is clearly a team player and is always looking for a down-field pass.

The smile is solely to distract the defense.

22. The Art of Sexiness

Image via holytaco.com

The Lingerie Football League is a beautiful thing, let's just be honest. 

No need to fluff its effect any further.

21. Halle Berry Is a Strikeout Machine

Image via totalprosports.com

The windup seems a bit off, but we trust Halle Berry's obtuse form.

We already know she can play a mean outfield after being married to David Justice for three years (1993-96 for those keeping score at home).

20. Leryn Franco Feels the Jav

Image via celebbest.com

She's known more for her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue appearances than her athletic prowess, but it's nice to finally see Leryn Franco honing her craft on the field.

A vicious javelin toss indeed.

19. Kayla Ewell Changes the Pace

Image via listal.com

Normally a "slutty" high school student in a town shadowed by vampires, Kayla Ewell seems determined to expand her repertoire.

16. Doutzen Kroes Rules the Mound

Image via totalprosports.com

Dutch model Doutzen Kroes became a worldwide sensation overnight (it seems) when she was offered a ceremonial first pitch opportunity with the Blue Jays.

The Victoria's Secret angel seems to be winding up a flimsy circle changeup.

15. The Only Samurai

Image via blog.naver.com

So maybe she's thrusting a sharp dagger at the camera, but let's not forget that Eliza Dushku has been with former baller Rick Fox for some time now and certainly picked up some athletic tricks along the way.

Particularly the game face.

14. Reby Sky Reaches for the Stars

Image via forumbiodiversity.com

She's the Giants superfan flooding the Internet, hogging the cameras and tarnishing opponents.

Reby Sky is always ready to hike the ball when needed.

13. Clemson Roar

Image via 43tigers.wordpress.com

Just before she releases the pigskin, this diehard fan offers a bright smile and a swaggerous hip lean.

She's got it going on.

12. Chalkboard Talk

Image via thestallseat.com

This can't possibly be good for team focus.

But it's the perfect way to eliminate any bounty systems. Don't ask why.

11. Eva Longoria Keeps Coming Back

Image via sportsillustrated.cnn.com

We've yet to lose our interest in Eva Longoria, as her scintillating smiles always keeping us engaged.

Looks like the sun took a hold of this sexy cheerleader, as she yet again forgot to throw the ball. 

All she can do is bask in the camera's snaps.

Ball in hand, arm revved up and game face perfected, she seems ready for practice.

The oak bat is for her also-bikini-clad partner.

6. Marisa Miller Gets Involved

Image via totalprosports.com

Half windup, half pose—we'd expect nothing less from swimsuit legend Marisa Miller.

Solid Chi-town promotion that day.

5. The Rugby School of Beauty

Image via taringa.net

The endless stare is magical, sure, but the lethargic approach is what really gets the scouts drooling.

Ms. Italia has all the makings of a boom-or-bust quarterback.

4. Kate Upton Perfects the Spiral

Image via withleather.uproxx.com

Heels were perhaps a fatal addition to Kate Upton's outfit when she joined Giants phenom Jason Pierre-Paul in midtown yesterday to help promote a Fitness Without Borders upcoming event.

On second thought, they don't seem to be hindering her precision.

3. Jenn Brown's Heisman Pose

Image via blogs.orlandosentinel.com

With a stiff arm like that, throwing the pigskin seems unnecessary.

The former Gators softball player and current ESPN hottie seems determined to take it to the house herself.

2. Dirt-Covered Prowess

Image via sportsclb.com

Hands are unacceptable in soccer, so players must rely on their strengthened chests as a way to advance the ball.

This star has perfectly combined seduction and skill.

1. Nicky Whelan Can't Be Stopped

Image via s628.photobucket.com

Crikey! What a catch.

With a stare like this, Australian model Nickey Whelan gives the folks down under quite the masterpiece.
