How To Throw A Power Sinker! 

That’s what I was thinking

what he did in the vid was very exaggerated. with that grip, just think about finishing the pitch with your index finger. the ball should feel like it’s coming off the inside of the index finger at release. throw that pitch with the intent of a 4 seam fastball with that grip and mentality towards finishing the release and it’ll be nasty

Copying a similar sinker grip is how I learned how to throw a screwball. I did adjust the grip though.

depends on pronation.... I throw a screw fingers across thin part of thread

Screwball ye but for lefties.

alright then, sorry but who is this pitcher?? Ron Guidry Louisiana lightning is that what you meant

definitely a filthy pitch.. I wanna see more of his stuff

That was gross

Anything can be a fastball grip ngl

​@@Louie-ji8xn I never thought of that but it's kinda true

yea but the difference between a slider and a sinker is the trajectory rather than the grip

The grip can be the same, though id instead get up around the curve of the laces and your release is obviously different, similar to a curve ball, if you pitch more like a side arm or submarine pitcher, your curve is most likely a slider.I couldn't throw a sinker to save my life from the side, I had to throw it from 3/4 .I rotated between side arm and over the top depending on what the coach called for or the catcher gave me the signal for.

Ok, deGrom.

Or the kid who showed enough care and a work ethic

@@jmielke4341 definitely not my experience

@@RZS_bowl for me only the coach’s son got to catch

@@jmielke4341 I "couldn't" because I was left-handed. I did for a game though because I wouldn't stop asking 😂

@@RZS_bowl very interesting, I’ve never heard that before. Is it a thing for lefty’s to not catch? Thinking about it I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a MLB catcher who is a lefty

Good luck ☺️

How did it go?!?! I hope well!!

Left us on the edge lol.

When you’re doing this, do not “twist” your wrist into pronation. You will mess your shoulder up by artificially mimicking torque. Instead, focus on “slashing” through the inside half of that ball from the top/outside through to your opposite hip. This will create that arm-side break without “twisting”. Common mistake when watching him do the slow-mo

it's actually safer than a hard slider I think. it's all about how you get around the ball. that wrist pronation is actually way better for your arm than going around the ball outwards

Nasty?

@@epichighlights8267 what do you think I said

@@epichighlights8267 you want me to say it again nasty

@@epichighlights8267 that’s what people say in baseball if you know anything about the subject which I doubt you do you most likely have zero clues

@@epichighlights8267 in baseball they say nasty

why turned on by a pitch lol

4 seam goes across the horseshoe. You’re thinking more of like a 2 seam.

Thanks

No. It’s more of like a slightly reverse side spin.

think of it like spinning the ball on the opposite side of where you want it to move. as for forward spin, it's what makes a curveball violently drop and the goal is to throw this pitch really fast so it wouldn't work like that, what you want to do is get around the baseball on the inside which will happen naturally with wrist pronation, the ball will spin off your fingers from the inside and top of the ball, matched with it's speed it will move like crazy

Lol are you claiming this guy is on roids

Roids won't help you throw better pitches

As a powerlifter and former gearhead, I’ll touch on this a tad. First, pinning won’t make you pitch any better, only practice can accomplish that. But in six months of dedicated fastball training on the sauce you’ll exceed your fastest pitch pb by probably 10-20%

It’s same grip

its the same pitch theoretically

John Madden

You wish to god

@@imjustthatnigga 😡

Yes.

Look up Devin Williams explaining his screwball it's filth

​@@bugwogger-pc4mi no, it isn't close

very difficult.... I played minor league. it's not easy

@@diabolivirtusen-tavares-ea4645 I’m sure. I was a good player as a kid, pitcher and third baseman. However, nobody would pay me for my skills. Lol. Although in college I played a few times against women division 1. Guards. They had no chance against me who at the time, was a 6ft, 180 pound guard. They had good fundamentals but too slow and couldn’t just like a 6ft guy

And who are you exactly

@@yankmyass I’m a guy who knows the guy isn’t in the pros. 🤷‍♂️
