Great question. You need to kill efficiency for this to happen. Probably don't want the spike or if you keep it, cue thinking slider or cutter when throwing it.
Early is any time the ball is put in play on 3 pitches or less except for 2-0 counts (0-0, 1-0, 0-1, 1-1). Ahead is anytime you get to an 0-2 or 1-2 counts. The result does not matter for you to get credit. You can only get 1 early or ahead per AB. You can't get credit for both. Add up all early and ahead and divide it by batters faced to get your percentage. Hope this helps!
ive heard you say several times that 1seammers are better for high spin efficencies. The best one seam was zack brittons in my opinion and his effincency has necer been above 85% so i dont really see why a 2 seam would be better (2 seam offers more run while 1seam offers more drop). Note that i understand that its easier to catch seam shift with a 1seam orientation and my doubt is about why would 2 seams be better at lower efficencies.
You're right, it can still work with an efficiency in the 80's! General speaking this is what I have found to be true. 2 seams at 70-80's efficiency and the right axis can get crazy depth and seam effects. In the 100's of sinkers I have tracked on edger and trackman this has been what I've found.
@@pitchingcoachu Wow, thank you! just another doubt, i doubt this has happened, but have you ever seen someone throw a sinker in the 80s both orientations and the difference in depth and run between these two?
So you throw this like a fastball and let the seams do the work or is there some manipulation with the ring finger? Just found your content. Great stuff!
Appreciate it! For me I slightly think about holding my hand in supination. The cue and feeling will be determined by your supination and pronation capability.
I'm confused. At 1:32 you said gyro (more dot facing you) would kill depth (unless I misheard). At around 2:51 you said the more the dot faces you (more gyro) the "more" depth you're going to get. Which is correct? If i'm looking to throw a gyro slider like Daniel Hudson :28 mark here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-slnzVlnsea0.html where do I want that dot facing and does an in-the-horseshoe or maybe 2 seam grip work better for that? I do have some understanding of spin and seam orientation. Thanks
Sorry for the confusion! By killing depth I meant you will get more depth with the dot facing you more. Off-centered 4seam grip will worm best. How much the dot faces you will be determined by the movement you want.
