So very true. Too many pitchers want to worry about their mechanics, when in reality a simple change to their target will autocorrect any misses. Let the body organize itself. The only additional comment I would add is generally make the adjustments small. If you are missing by 18-24 inches, don't move your target that much. Move is 4-6 inches and see what adjustment happens and keep adjusting. Great Video!

Should we generate high spin rate for SSW sinker? Or slightly lower spin rate like pronating sinker?
@ianmulligan2 ай бұрын
Can you explain why? Cus we want our hips to go first
@pitchingcoachu2 ай бұрын
This allows the hips to go first and to get better separation. As you go into your stride, the shoulders close (counter rotate) and the hips open.

Another question. How do some sinkers drop with seam shifted wake (where guys supinate it) while other sinkers disobey seam shifting and just heavily pronate it and that still drops?
@huntzzio4 ай бұрын
Thank u very much for this! Im 15 and very into baseball science for pitching and like throwing in my yard. I have an iPhone. How can i tell if my spin efficiency is good enough? I dont know how to eyeball 40%, 85%, etc. I like seam shifted wake effects and want to throw seam shifting sinkers, changeup, and sweepers, especially since I find comfort in a lower arm slot. (I have seen more success with pronation and a one-seam grip, but maybe pitches will blend better if I cut them all and stay true to seam shift).
@letsgooo16374 ай бұрын
Why were people telling me to make it spin completely opposite back then? Basically making the dot face the batter
@pitchingcoachu4 ай бұрын
They were likely trying to get you to pronate the pitch. This dot is designed to maximize seam shifted wake which actually requires you to "cut" the ball.

On the weightlifting side, I also agree. I worked out a ton in H.S., but my buddies and I had no idea what we were doing. This was the 1997-2001 window, so finding workouts on the internet wasn't a thing ... we were probably buying Men's Health and Maxim magazines 🤣 I was a 5'10" 155 lbs shortstop my senior year in high school. By the end of my freshmen year in college, where our team had strength coaches that built our workouts, managed our progression, and were in the weight room with us every day, I was 175 lbs. By the end of my sophomore year, 185 lbs. If I could have done those types of workouts my junior/senior year in high school, I'm sure I would have been at least 10 lbs heavier, put up better numbers, and got recruited to more schools.
@dero08087 ай бұрын
great video! I didn't start taking school seriously until my Junior year in high school ... many of the schools that were recruiting me had really high academic standards, even for recruited athletes. I had to take the ACT/SAT multiple times, plus take an evening prep course to get my math scores higher. Not paying attention and fing off in middle school/high school almost burned me.

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.

@izanmaciasgallardo16589 ай бұрын
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.
@pitchingcoachu9 ай бұрын
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.

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 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ3Rq4mio9iYl5I 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
@pitchingcoachu10 ай бұрын
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.
