Fastball to circle changeup.

You just change the grip but the arm speed is the same.
Basically make an OK with your fingers on the ball and then wrap it around

Gotta hold it like an egg and let it roll off the 3 fingers in the K

I want to preface this by saying most hitters take their cues on what pitch is coming by noticing a change in the pitchers delivery or how they are fiddling around in their glove before pitching. If you’re really good, you can pick up the rotation of the ball as it’s coming. The fact that Pedro changed his grip mid delivery while throwing the ball in the same exact motion is why he was one of the goats.

Dominant in the roid era :wow:


Ok this is crazy. I used to be a big baseball fan but admittedly never played organized.

Is this common?! I have never heard of this
