Looks a lot like a screwball when you come over the ball

[@bugwogger-pc4mi]

That’s what I was thinking

[@bustanutt3848]

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

[@karlrovey]

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

[@NAT-turners-Revenge]

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

[@DavidDiaz-de2qf]

Screwball ye but for lefties.

[@youbad555]

Best way to show how u know what ur talking about: do it yourself. That pitch @ the end was absolutely filthy. Louisiana bayouuuu

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

I feel connected to you through this video.

[@LumberjackMC]

That's how I threw a slider negl, didn't even know how to throw a sinker.

[@sivik9105]

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

[@MrThejboe3oh5]

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.

bro the pitch at the end made me HOLLER.....holy shit

[@lawrenceyancy3364]

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

[@angelgregio]

Left us on the edge lol.

[@justingrab9739]

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

[@user-gyoabitmfhbibya]

You should show you throwing it more than once

[@snrnsjd]

I like The "Stinker" . It's best

[@tiredsofa]

will this work for younger players? i may have to start pitching our team aint doin well

[@Kianplaysbaseball]

I sometimes will pitch and when i used to pitch I threw a sinker but i threw it a different way. I threw it with a 2 seam grip but has my thumb bent to make the ball on top of the joint/nail of my thumb. (This is the best I can explain it sorry if its a bad explanation)

[@cubsfanman-nx6pg]

It depends a lot. Most people can do everything right and the ball will just never move. Some people just pick it up and it moves like crazy. If you've never pitched before though just throw fastballs and focus on throwing strikes

[@wolf_godxd9435]

The thing is he throws his sinker like a changeup. You grip it like a sinker, but throw it like a fastball with your rist diagonally so that it breaks like that, in that video he threw a pitch that was slightly slower but had the same movement as a sinker, either pitch works but that pitch ain’t a sinker in simple terms, yall welcome😂

[@cubsfanman-nx6pg]

No lol that's not a changeup that's just a regular sinker

[@shierawesome]

Holy Christ that was nasty

[@kevinhumphreys6963]

Ditto bro. WDE

[@sebastienleblanc2708]

I call that a close grip 4seam

[@MikeHawk04]

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

[@NSav10137]

Is this how Greg Maddox threw the 2 seam fastball or is it a different thing

[@RupertMumphrey]

Pretty much the same thing. Some people call a pitch like this a 2 seam if it doesn’t drop as much as a sinker. I’ve also heard people call pitches like this 2 seamers if they’re up in the zone and sinkers down in the zone. They can be used interchangeably.

[@cubsfanman-nx6pg]

2 seam and sinkers are the same thing. The thing is if the ball tends to drop down more its usually called a sinker but if it just runs arm side its usually a "2 seam" but they're the same pitch

[@sethprice850]

That was nasty

[@CherryxCTRL]

I was the 10,000th like

[@ethanthompson4636]

God damn, that pitch was so filthy I had to take a shower after watching it

[@marklevine5844]

why turned on by a pitch lol

[@RyanMcIntyre]

I don’t play baseball so I’m genuinely curious, are you putting a forward spin on the ball?

[@MikeHawk04]

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

[@peterparker642]

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

[@nyfan9215]

Now do swinging yorker

[@tw7321]

8:21 strongly disagree with saying Shaq could be ranked greater if he retired earlier. Ranking should be based on what they accomplished at their peaks..not what they DIDN’T do during their decline

[@J.A.07]

He only used that one pitch for a season??

[@l.sebastianv.gonzalez1180]

I throw that but without touching any seams, ball slide out smoother, more speedz and it will run on its own🥴could it be because i have small hands? It kind looks like a bavkwards cutter

[@Jabfn]

Can you coach me?

[@Shootskas]

How fast do you throw it? Do you throw it full speed or take some off?

[@RupertMumphrey]

Throw it full effort. The spin makes it a couple MPH slower than a 4 seam fastball but to get good movement you gotta throw it hard. It is a fastball after all.

[@cubsfanman-nx6pg]

No matter what pitch you throw you always throw it as hard as you can

[@Shootskas]

@@cubsfanman-nx6pg that's not true at all. Mixing up speeds is a good a way to keep the batter guessing.

[@cubsfanman-nx6pg]

@shootskas youre right mixing up speeds is one of the most important aspects of pitching but you should never do that by changing your arm speed. You should always mix up speeds by throwing off speeds and stuff. If you occasionally just throw a cookie fastball slower than normal it's just gonna get crushed

[@RupertMumphrey]

@@Shootskas Pitches have different speeds because of the grips and spin applied to the ball. The worst way to change speeds is by throwing a meatball.

Enough of all these new pitch names. Its a fastball, always has been and always will

No, it hasn’t been. By that logic a sinker and cutter are the same because they’re both types of fastballs. They’re categorized differently because they move way differently.

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%
