Not usually a Ripken fan, BUT this is the best use of video and camera placement to describe a changeup. It's kind of like "Changeup for Dummies" and it works. Great vid.

This was a very interesting and clear analysis. I liked the video comparisons of the effect on the batters of the two pitches. I watched this video twice - the second time at 0.75 speed, to study the difference better. Nice work, Mr. Ripken!

I have really short fingers and could not grip the ball enough for changeup. Can I use split finger as my main off speed pitch? need help

@patrickstar9533 6 жыл бұрын

whatever works, if you can locate it, why not?

@v.slavov 6 жыл бұрын

The Splitter is a retirement pitch. Just get the ball's center away and off your dominant Pointer finger in whatever grip you can control without putting stress on your ligaments. You dont need more then a 6 mph difference in speed to induce poor contact from batters. The Changeup is truly a Magic thing as no two Changeups are the same but before you find your Magic you should Perfect a main Pitch from the Fastball Family of Four-seam; Two-seam; Sinker; Cutter as those pitches can be effective in more places of the strike zone then where the Changeup can be effective which is predominantly Down in the zone and if setup properly - Outside.

Not that in to baseball, as of matter of fact, more into fotball (soccer) if anything else. However, what i know from baseball is that if you have an breakball that sticks, and use your fast balls well, you can be an devistation in the field. Best of luck with your sports cariee, no matter what sport you want to do and always do your best and you will be reconised as an athlete

Former Giants gm Brian Sabean always said 90mph is plenty of fastball to get guys out. So many pitchers today are throwing in the upper 90s and sit at 98 even 99, but without command of the heater and their other pitches they're just throwers, not pitchers.

@rickrose5377 7 жыл бұрын

Billy Ripken is fixated on the AL. How 'bout giving us a look at Kyle Hendricks, who led the NL in ERA last year with about as diabolical a changeup as you're likely to see?

rick rose exactly. Al is irrelevant bc they have DH who can’t play both sides of the games
