SoxFan1 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 QUOTE(Jake @ Dec 29, 2005 -> 01:35 AM) I throw a bit more unconventional change-up, a circle change with the arm/wrist action you might expect from a screwball. It has nasty movement, and still spins like a fastball. The single hardest pitch I ever had to learn to throw though. Sounds like a sweet pitch. Only really awkward pitch I have is the submarine Shingo-style slider. But I have the regular 3-finger grip on the change-up from 3/4.

Wanne Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Do you guys do the rubber bands? I bought one last year for my son and have it attached to his bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the handle of my Total Gym and do simulated pitching motions to strengthen my rotator cuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I throw a nasty sinker. Mainly cause it runs out of gas at around 58 feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every once in a while I drop submarine and throw a two seamer just to keep em thinking. Pitching is a very fun and challenging task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitching is a very fun and challenging task. Definitely. It's such a rush for me. I remember last season I gave up the 1st homerun of my life on a change-up on the outside corner. It was a fricking bomb. Left the field and went over the street and on to the roof of an apartment. I was amazed. I couldn't do anything but laugh. I proceeded to strike out the side that inning and when I got into the dugout, the team was astounded at how I wasn't fazed by the HR. I'll always remember that because he beat me on an almost unhittable pitch. Pitching = teh s***! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
