Awesome video as usual. I went through a years long learning arc with several change up varieties. Too long to type, but for new pitchers learning this, you have to throw it just like a fastball (with the same arm velocity) and let the grip slow the pitch down, otherwise good hitters will spot it. So you have to “sell it” to the hitters to fool them. I agree with coach about the circle change (at least for me anyway).

Should you change your thumb position if you have a higher arm slot so the ball can get more run? Great video. Can’t wait to try this grip.

You throw a pretty nasty change up. Better than mine was.

@jimgallagher7841 Жыл бұрын

I think your videos are really good. But I would suggest you reposition your pitch camera - so that your foot doesn't get in the way of the resulting pitch.

Can’t see a damn thing with your leg in the way every time you throw it! What a great height to put the camera angle!!

Thank you for showing us how to throw the change up. The only thing that I hoped you would have done ✅ is to set up the camera a little bit better because your right foot 🦶 kept on blocking how the ⚾️ would break every time you pitched the ⚾️.

Coach, I throw 4 seam, 2 seam, change up, cutter, curve. I don’t really have a use for my change up, because my two seam runs further arm side, drops harder, and is a faster pitch. Where is the place I can work my change up into this pitch mix?

@DanBlewett Жыл бұрын

you dont need a cutter, its a bad pitch for your age. And you definitely need a changeup becasue you only have one off-speed pitch, your curve. A 2-seamer is just a fastball that moves; its nothing more than that. Fastball - curve - change is what you need

@TheRealBruceLouis Жыл бұрын

the change up from this video can compliment ur 2 seam very well as theyll both move in the same direction, but the speed can really put a batter off kilter where theyll mistime it for a 2 seam fastball. u can even have this mind game going where u have the change up and 2 seam mixup, they now know u have that change up that travels almost the same as the 2 seamer, but is slower, so theyll sit on the change up anticipating a changeup. then u hurl a 2 seamer catching them off guard with the same lookin trajectory only with a faster speed. and then vice versa in reverse, thinkin its a 2 seam but its actually a change up. i think this change up will be a real good pitch to compliment ur 2 seamer.

@bf2768 Жыл бұрын

As a lefty playing varsity, I’d argue a cutter is a good pitch, but what you said about the change makes sense.

@presinald Жыл бұрын

Can you take some speed off by getting it to roll off (the "paintbrush" as he nicely describes it) a bit more? Definitely get how some people just naturally throw effective sinkers, but anything you can do to make it look like the sinker but have a good degree separation would help out. I never had any success with splitters and it's not a really good pitch for youth arm health but I'd play around with some different grips to try and find an offspeed pitch that works. I had tiny hands so the "OK" circle change naturally took a lot off and moved a lot, but you'll probably have to find something that gets close to the two seam movement but comes out that 8-12% slower if you can. Best of luck!
