i’m a year late to this comment, and i might not even be right lol, but it’s a 44 glove and i think it’s the 574 (not 100 percent sure)

You're welcome!

Hitting a tennis ball has some similarities too.

I threw that pitch in my 40s with the fingers split wide on the outside of the two seams -- circle-change splitter. No batter ever made solid contact -- not even ex-Big Leaguers -- wish I had learned it in college.

🤣 I agree

Yes! No mention of witch way they rotating. Top spin bottom spin ect.

Sometimes I hit balls that go a hit slow because I have time to think and get ready to hit but like if it's curving it might be tricky

hey offspeed pitches work for a reason

I doubt it

i use that in wiffleball

Anything is safe if done correctly. Generally balls that break arm side are safer because you pronate around the ball when releasing it. Balls that break glove side, like curves and sliders, are more dangerous if you throw them incorrectly and don't take care of your arm.

i’m playing my first year and i’m 13 and have developed a slider curveball 4 seam and change up with no significant arm pain as long as u don’t over do it u should be gine

add 20 years for me. Read "How to Pitch" by Bob Feller. Practiced by throwing at a padlock on the garage door and could hit it 9/10 but only at Little League distance. At that age most kids pitching had a hard time controlling getting the ball in the strike zone. Some kids could hit but by not walking and most kids could not hit even a mediocre fastball, strikeout to walk was 11:2 over 6 innings of a game. No one to show anything about pitching or other pitches which likely would not move at the short distance so never learned more as once Little League age limit was reached, no more baseball. Unfortunately, being an over the top pitcher, now, Rotator Cuff issues cause 24/7 pain. Tylenol does help some. Difficult to lift things though and raise the arm much.

And you’ve also destroyed your arm lol

Who cares.js

What! Really

Can someone make sense out of the garbage I'm throwing?

If you are a lefty and it is going inside on right handed batters it is probably a slider that you are throwing, if it has a lot of vertical movement it could be because you are throwing slow from 60 feet and it is just lobbing in there or it could be actually dropping. Yes you have to snap your wrist sideways like you are opening a door, when you snap your wrist make sure your palm faces away from your body. If you are young I would stay off the screwball but if you're above 16 then it's probably fine as long as you have good mechanics.

@@bobbyshmurda6923 when I release it, my arm from the elbow toward the hand is full on straight up. Then I snap the wrist sideways with my arm in the fully upright position in a counterclockwise motion, meaning the ball will have a counterclockwise sidespin as it leaves my hand. I hope I painted an accurate description for you. Btw, I've been throwing this pitch for 30 years (I'm 50 y/o). And it's best thrown slow. When I release the ball, my palm faces me, but that's because I'm rotating my wrist in the opposite direction as a screwball is thrown, and my fingers are facing up as the ball is released.

@@markdubois4882 Lol my bad I have never really thrown a screwball, but yes you are throwing a screwball

@@bobbyshmurda6923 And I feast on right handed batters with that pitch. Yes, I am a southpaw.. It's lefties at the plate that give me issues. My fastball on a good day will barely crack 65 MPH.

Screw ball is a good way to mess up ur arm, palmball is just a change up, everyone knows how to throw a knuckleball, slurve, 12-6 and sweeping curve are just determined by your arm slot, if your really over the top it'll be a 12-6, if you are closer to sidearm it'll be a slurve and a sweeping curve is the same as curveball just slower. The people watching these video's are kids/teenagers, no kid is throwing a forkball, a running fastball is a 2 seam, and a Vulcan change is just stupid. The only pitches that are useful that u listed and need different grips are the splitter and the knuckle curve

Yes except for a splitter, you need your fingers on the outside of the widest part of the seams so it can get that drop that you get from a standard change up.

@@jeremiahcrawford7582 is there any pro pitcher really doing this? as i’m aware, textbook cutter is an offset grip 4seamer, is there a pitcher good at offset grip 2seamer as both sinker and cutter?

@@jeremiahcrawford7582 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-95QMRKLaZOw.html Just found this clip, Dan mentioned that some 2-seamer learners do throw cutter(glove side) instead of sinker (palm side), just it's a bad cutter, guess it means 2 seam cutter does not break significantly

That would’ve meant it was hurting before the game

Ladder*

@@elijahbond3247 that’s how you correctly pronounce latter when used in this way, ladder is an object that you climb to get up higher or lower, latter means the second option I believe.

yes you are right he is not showing how you throw some of these pitches.

how old r u?
