Screwball 101:Take your pitching to the next level w/ the Screwball | ASA / USSSA Slowpitch Softball 

Thanks! We are so glad we + Jamie could help!

I learned the Weeknight Ace backspin screwball but could never get his slider to work. It's nice to have content on here to learn from

We are so glad we could help you out! Jamie is a great dude and a great pitcher. He's always willing to help and teach any time that he can.

@@jimpeterson3806 same. I think the screwball backhand is super easy. The slider though... I could never figure it out and have pretty much ditched it.

@@jimpeterson3806 same with me lol any time I threw a slider in the game it was basically lawn bowling

Uncle J is truly a class act. We are lucky he gives us the time to shoot these videos. He just loves the game and wants to give back!

I've been there. My first slowpitch experience was very similar. The key is to keep going and keep working at it and you'll start seeing improvement in no time. Thanks for watching!

Hey Leroy, thanks for the suggestion. We can definitely plan an episode about fielding at the pitcher's position. We will add it to the list!

once you throw the ball get into a good fielding positions with your glove up. work on fielding the ball on both sides of the rubber depending on if its a left or right hand batter. Do eye hand reflex drills and cordination drills. i for example throw a lacross ball off a brick wall at short distances. i catch it with a glove and with out. you'd be surprised after a couple weeks of doing drills you start catching those hot smashes. - Former Conference Usssa pitcher -

That's right! I am so glad you took the time out of your day to watch and comment on our video. We really enjoy educating!

I'm sure he'll be back in a future video. Good pitchers are hard enough to find, let alone get them all together at once! Thanks for watching!

I have a Fan!! HAHAHAHHA

Thanks for watching! I’m sure every pitcher finds a way to make it work for them. I think Jamie is trying to say it’s easier to get your hips engaged from that stance, but pitching definitely isn’t once size fits all! Stay tuned, we will cover the knuckle in the near future!

Hey Dom, thanks for watching. Uncle J and company cover that in our Slider video (link below). Pitching 101: The Slider. Different Grips, Same Results | USA / ASA / USSSA Slowpitch Softball ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jCgAozURZjg.html

If your a righty,and throw with a backspin. Grip ball like 2 seam fast ball..pronate wrist towards glove hand side upon release. Easier said than done. I’m still trying to perfect it. Experiment with different grip to see what works.Practice,practice,practice.

@@LeagueNightSoftball Thank you.

@@shortstopdawgs Thank you.

This is how I throw my slider. With a head wind, it breaks like crazy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j_hJbiRil7o.html

Thanks for being #1! Hope you enjoy the content. Let us know if there is another topic to get you back as #1 for another video!

This video is just for demonstration. We didn't film during a tournament or anything so fortunately no disqualifications were administered. Also, we've never heard that rule before. Can you site us the official rule so we can check it out?

Google. As a pitcher and use to be umpire… it’s in the rule books. Unless there are some rec park rules that allow it. Sanctions don’t. Wsl / usssa / GSL / one nation = illegal PSL and nsa, who cares don’t know those lol

LGH is a top 3 E team in NorCal actually! When Uncle J pitches, he uses his Rawlings Heart of the Hide glove. He uses the 1B mitt when he's playing 1B or during practice to keep breaking it in

@@LeagueNightSoftball That is actually was a rule, only the 1B can use a 1B glove. But looks like it was changed per USSSA rules: . LEGALLY ADOPTED GLOVES may be worn by any fielder. A. Catchers, pitchers, and 1st basemen may wear a glove or mitt of any size; all other players are restricted to a finger type glove with the space between the thumb and forefinger not exceeding more than 4-1/2 inches at the top. The webbing shall not be constructed to form any type net or tray

I have no idea... it was soooo loud....

Throw the screwball at your own discretion haha! Learn to control it and most pitchers won't get hit. Control the batter!
