As a self proclaimed wiffle ball professional I wanna add 3 more pitches for the ladies and gents at home. Pitch one is the cutter. You throw the cutter with the slider grip but you close your fingers and have them go just slightly opposite to the holes. Throw it like a fast ball and give it some juice and you have a fast pitch that has just enough break to throw off any great wiffle ball player. The next pitch is the two seam fast ball. It’s a slider grip with closed fingers again (don’t offset your hand just go up the middle) but you flip the holes on the left side if you are right handed and to the right side if you are left handed. This one is just like a real two seam fast ball wear you throw it like a fast ball but it will move to your arm side. One more pitch will be my signature because I have mastered it and I call it the “McShtinky”. I don’t throw it a lot because it is a change up but it is definetly a good third strike pitch or a good pitch to upset timing. It is a circle change grip in where you pinkie in ninety degrees on the solid side of the ball, your ring finger is 45 degrees on the solid side, your middle finger is 45 degrees on the hole side and you make a relaxed circle with your pointer finger and thumb on the circle 9 degrees on the hole side. If you know how to throw a real baseball circle change it will help but it is basically an “👌” gesture. When your throw it you need to move your hand inward right before release to it drifts to the arm side while dropping and also make sure you throw it at the same arm angle and arm speed as your fastball. The grip will make it slow down automatically. The last pitch is the hardest to throw but if you get it you will be the best wiffle ball player in your neighborhood (just practice it because if you throw it high or bad it becomes the easiest pitch to see and you will get taken deep). Good luck out there everyone!

I have enjoyed watching you guys play. You remind me of my youth as my friends and I played whiffle ball every seemingly endless summer day from early morning until late night (under the Parker St. lights). We made a field out of 2 opposing homes, a well placed utility pole and an adjacent fence. We endured our angry mothers when we painted home plate, batters box, bases, pitchers slab as well as the foul poles. We are all in our late 50's now but, whenever we are together, its all we talk about. I still have the signed whiffle ball from my 10th career no hitter! Our children and grandchildren are tired of hearing the same old stories. They are our stories and they will be with us forever --- as you are building yours. Keep it up! All of us from that old Newark neighborhood enjoy watching you make the same wonderful memories.

Growing up in the 70's, Wiffle Ball was the go-to sport every summer. We called it "chair ball" because we used an aluminum lawn chair as the strike zone. If the ball hit any part of the chair, it was a strike. It eliminated all of the arguments. It's been replaced with the strike zone that you use, but the result is the same (no arguments). I used to throw all of these pitches, plus a couple that you didn't mention. My group of friends and family carried on playing "chair ball" most of our lives. Any family gathering or party would involve a game or two. You always had a bat and a couple of balls in the car, just in case a game broke out. I wish there were organized leagues when I was younger. I think what you guys are doing is great! Stay the course.

[@zdawgofficial]

Your video has helped me so much! It has been so helpful to me and has even inspired me to make my own pitch that i suggest you guys try out! I call the pitch the “Bullet Curve”. You hold the wiffle ball covering one hole and as if the top of the ball with all the holes are facing at the strike zone if you held it out. You then throw it like a traditional drop ball with having it go right across your ear. With this grip and motion it will not only drop into the zone but move a lot faster and have a slight curve to the ball as well. Edit: Its awesome to see that a channel stays up to date on an old video. Thanks for the like MLW!

[@richardpayne6011]

I really like how you go into so much detail to teach each pitch.

[@heithheithinson2495]

I hope this is sarcasm because they went into very minimal detail about how to throw these. They spent a minute or two on each pitch and most of that time was clips of them throwing it.

Love trying out these pitches! I have also developed a power sinker in the high 60s to complement some of the MLW pitches I learned. I still have a lot of time to develop the game too, at my age. However there aren’t a many organized competitions this far south (that I’ve heard of) so I have to stick to just fooling around with friends on weekends that I don’t have baseball tournaments. Keep up the great work, MLW!

Man I wish we would have had leagues and team competition back in my younger years. Played a ton of wiffle ball. I also watch premier league wiffle out of Las. Vegas and it is great. I know leagues have different rules but I think it would be great to watch a weekend tournament between the top players from different league's and if you already do please let me know where I can watch it.

Awesome video! One thing for your future videos you do… For your next tutorial like this, get a sharpie and mark the ball so the rotation of the ball can be seen. It will help people visualize how the ball supposed to move, or rotate in the air, and also help with how they release the ball. Once again awesome video I look forward to seeing more like it!

At the risk of sounding like a killjoy, my buddy and I played fast pitch wiffle ball back in the 70's & 80's. We mastered most of the pitches you guys throw. You've taken it to another level though. We loved the game and played on weekends for years. The killjoy part is that we both have the same shoulder issues. I believe it stems from the torque and the extra snap it takes to throw an essentially weightless ball with speed and accuracy. When you can't throw a ball 50 ft. When you're in your 60s. Don't say you weren't warned. Knowing what I know now...... I wouldn't have changed a thing. It's so much fun. Wish I could still play.

Hey MLW! I think a cool video idea would be the best play of every world series, I think a lot of people would enjoy the video and is just a good post overall

[@midwesthockeyvid]

Probably a dumb question. Do you guys, especially the ones using their wrists and elbows on pitches, have to nurse your arms and stuff after an outing. I know you don't reach the pitch count of a regular baseball player and I am no expert at all, just curious. I know when I helped coach a baseball team years ago the head coach was super concerned about guys getting a jacket on right away and stuff like that, even in the middle of the summer.

[@MLWWiffleBall]

Most guys only ice when we play in tournaments with no speed limit & a longer pitching distance. In MLW, with 38ft mound and 73mph speed cap, our pitchers tend to not feel super sore after each series

[@bobohannan2622]

I’ve got a dirt change up. I say dirt because no matter how hard or high I throw this pitch it dead stops and falls short of the zone about 3 feet. Been throwing it for a year and I still get buddies chasing.

[@Yankeesfanabroad]

Wish I hadn't broken my old external drive. I'm older now. I could have shown you guys some of my discovery/inventions. I throw all these pitches you've shown even after rotator and Tommy John surgery when they said I'd never throw or play tennis again. Not true. You can actually modify the slider into a form of the riser. Think of like David Cone arm angles, for example. I used to call it the "rider". It was a rising slider. Your risers are only actually screwballs. No height. Graze the grass; ball hits the roof at "The O", my stadium. Get back to me when you've mastered "the Frisbee". Tons of torque and slow. Hope you feel me on this one. Your opponent will swing twice, and you'll laugh your ass off.
