Why does shuttling ball travel faster if plates are closer together?

Shuttling ball.
I was told that as the two conductive plates are brought closer together the speed the shuttling ball travels between them is increased. I don't understand this as i thought because the electric field is uniform between plates the distance they are apart wouldn't affect the attraction of the ball towards them. Could anyone explain this, thanks.
