How To Throw A One Seam Sinker [with Sebastian Bentz] 

Check out Pro Pitcher Craig Stem and how he throws this One Seam POWER SINKER at 95+ mph!👉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9vFFMKPaPi4.html

Definitely a must save video to show my son in a couple years, he's 4 still.

Thoughtful kid. Seems like he's got an old school approach to pitching. Rare nowadays

“This is heavier and stuff” a man that articulates the way i do! I like this guy and this one Seam sinker

This is one of the best and easier pitch to learn, that I've seen. I coach a 10yo team and showed it to a couple of kids who have hard time learning the change-up grip. One of them threw this one-seamer 3 times in a row to the best hitter in our league and fooled him every single time. THANKS!

Damn. I haven't seen a Reebok glove in a minute

It's my senior year this year. I'm going to try this pitch out for sure

I've been throwing this pitch since last spring because I found it out on a different video and it has worked amazing for me

Definently adding this to my arsenal. No pronation required? Oh heck yeah!

Excellent well explained video!! Gonna go try this with my son today! Use it for our next game. Thanks 👍👍

My 13 year old son has a low 3/4 arm slot, but we will give it a try. The sinker he throws now requires him to pronate as it’s released. Great video. Thanks!

I started throwing this pitch last year and had a lot of success with it. Very easy to throw, throw it just like your 4 seam. The key is definitely your grip. I had a lot of batters ask me, "what pitch was that?" Lots of jam shots

Thank you, sir! Will definitely share and teach this to my little man!

Fascinating: will definitely try the one seam sinker and change up

Great pitch, I love the drop. Thank you

Thanks for this I am just learning how to throw these pitches

I’ve thrown that same pitch since ‘93! 🤣🤣

excellent pitch, gonna try this myself

I've been teaching to he is pitch to my kids for a few years now. I was throwing this for my slider but since I'm more 3/4 it moves more to the side. I try and have the kids think of it as a fastball that has late mocement. As most kids have different releases and grip strength it moves differently for each kid. Sometimes it is more of a vertical drop and other times it is more like a cutter. Good luck and try it out.

That’s a sick pitch. Nick Said he’s going to try it. Thanks Coach!

Appreciate the video!!

Woah, this will come in handy!

a very great pitch I tried it in a game and it was untouchable... especially if your catcher is a very smart catcher

Thanks for the info that was a awsome pitch

Great clip! Like it a lot!

Great pitch and not harmful to arm. 👍

Hey thanks Coach Madden that was great. Going to have my son try that got my 10-year-old trying to hold it that way and I’ll get my 13-year-old it throws about 80 now to try it. He need something that’s our speed.

Nice downward late movement. It's nasty and agree with John that is arm safe. Thanks to both of you for sharing.:-)

Man im not a pitcher but that was incredible bro really amazing pitch and just so satisfying to watch bro

Great vid bro

Nice pitch!, definitely safe for the arm

You should do a video of you throwing it and telling us some techniques to make it sink even more.

Nice late movement! I didn't think it would work. Lol... I'll see how my son likes it. Hopefully it's something we can add.

My son loves watching off-speed pitchers, and wants to add another elbow-safe pitch for spring. Would you list out a progression of pitches to learn? For reference, he’s a 8yo minor’s pitcher, with 45+ 4-seam FB and a circle change up. His consistent mechanics is because of you. THANK YOU!!

Imma try this pitch when I start playing

It kinda moves the same way that the Vulcan changeup that you taught me moves, I’ve got a tournament today so I’ll definitely mess around with the pitch in warm ups

Awesome!

Great video. I actually wonder if Sebastian would get even more drop if he moved his index finger to on top of the one seam in order to get more rotation.

Nice, I'll try it :)

Finally a left handed, so its easier for me to understand movement and stuff

Nice video Coach Madden. Though...there's a slight difference in his mechanics/arm slot (see side by side video), prior in releasing the ball. The difference starts when Sebastian has his leg lift, breaks (4.48) and starts cocking (4.53). With the 4-seam his hand is way much back than when he's throwing the 1-seam sinker. Also his release of the 1-seam sinker is higher/earlier than the 4-seam (4.55).....minor details that only a very very good hitter can pick-up. What I most liked was the difference on the vertical break compared to the 4-seam, also a good pitch to teach kids (age 12-15) to throw instead of the curve ball, less stress on the arm.

Great video!!!! Good for a 14 youth ..

This pitch is straight $$ homie!

You were in my stomping grounds in south Louisiana. Im just south of the lake Pontchartrain

Can you make a strictly sidearm pitcher video

I always thought and threw the one seam as a cutter

Like a taugth to my son..batters and catcher got crazy

Looks like a split finger fast ball cool pitch

Differently going to teach my youngster that great for his arm

thx for that brother the grip feels lovely on my hand and love the downward action he gets gonna give it a go..I find when i'm more violent with the glove side in my delivery it helps me create more pro nation when throwing my 2 seamer/sinker is that something u think about as well?

Real life Sawamura from the Anime Diamond no Ace 💙💙💙

Is there more pressure applied to the index or middle finger to get more action?

Is the grip opposite for righties

I always wonder more about the release, and whether you rotate anything, fingers, wrist or arm, can you talk about the release? It took me a while to understand what creates movement even on fast pitches!

My 11 yo now throws it thank you

Does the finger length affect the pitch?

That’s Blake Treinen’s and zack Brittons sinker

I wonder do I still have movement on my slider. 🤔🤔🤔

I think it just another form of forks ball/splitter as the theory behind them are both about lessening the spin rate and magnus force,so the ball can drop when approaching the zone,however, it’s still a cool pitch 👍

Would this be a good pitch to teach 11-12 year olds since it's the same arm action as a fastball? I know 11-12 old shouldn't learn a curve and I wanted to throw something in besides a 4 seam and change-up so I was looking at this pitch

Can batters pick up the spin on this after a while?

There's different types of 4 seamers... he's talking about a 'wide' 4 seamer where you put your fingers across the widest part of the seams. When I throw a wide 4 seamer I get a lot of downward movement so I use that grip for my sinker. I use a 'narrow' 4 seamer for my straight pitch.

Does it has any benefit to a side arm pitcher?

The one seam release was actually higher and yet he had to chase the catch at the conclusion, which typifies a great sinker.

I know the arm action and spin are different for the 1 seam versus a curve, but isn't the ball movement very similar to a 12-6 curve ball? Also higher velocity than curve.

Does hight affect velocity?

That’s nasty. The bottom falls out from under it at the end. He’s gonna have a lot of batters looking for holes in the bat on the way back to the dugout after they strike out. Love you stuff. Wish I would’ve had it 35 or so years ago. But I had Joe Donaldson helping me. He pitched in college and the minors... so, I had that going for me. Thanks again.

what if you try to spin the pitch. Like a curveball

Do you need a pony tail for it to work?

¿ how fas was that pitch ? just wondering if I could trow a one seam sinker with my 70 miles arm

i wish you would've kept this secret. my son put a lot of batters in chairs with this pitch for the last 2 seasons

フォーシームの軌道と比べると凄く沈んでるのが良く分かる

How would this work out for righty’s?

From experience if you can’t throw this pitch correctly 100% of the time don’t even try it. As a hitter when pitchers could throw this correctly it was the hardest thing to hit, but if they messed up once, then it was just a BP fast ball

It’s different for righty’s

One seam was created by sugano of yomiuri giants as one if the makyu(magic ball)

I have a grandson that pitches in high school I will show him how to throw this pitch

This kid is a STEM major.

Any advice for a guy who's been out of the game for 7 years and is now playing adult baseball and his shoulder is sore after he pitches?

I think this pitch should be thrown higher so it slides lately into the box👍

Can u tell me how to knuckle curve

Damn I could hardly tell the difference in form! Give him a nasty 2 seam and he’s gonna dominate!

I live in lousiana

There’s nothing like the circle Pedro Martinez change up sinker what ever you want to call it I made lots of batters swing at this great pitch remember all this pitches are not made for strikes only if you are lucky they are made for the batter to chase them

Sensation also broke his hands before he went forward, really well. He stayed back, got loaded on his backside, not drifting forward and walking away from his arm, which allows his arm to get up, so he’s on top of the ball and throwing down hill. I would have liked to see his 1 seam change up. Other topics: Hip explosion(Dak Prescott drill) Bent landing leg vs stiff and catapult Short armers that drift forward and throw in the 100’s, middle relief vs starters who stay back and give their arms time to get up. Contrasting their longevity and different arm injuries. What makes a knuckle curve ball different What made Barry Zito’s curve ball so good.

I think nowadays this pitch usually ends landing at more than 400 ft from home plate….

A southpaw one

what bbcor bats is he breaking lol

did you play college baseball

Trying like hell to get my 13 yo to throw this pitch! If not, I'll start getting my 10 yo to do it.

I just don’t really see the difference though the way you throw the 1 seam and the 4 seam makes it look like you’re throwing the exact same pitch

Church.

Nasty

This guy is NASTY!

*grabs glove

He sounds like Josh Donaldson lmfao

Hjfivm Pero pensando Show me a Reuben channels

That’s dirty
