As an overhand pitcher with a supination bias, I’ve always struggled with throwing a good changeup, but I tried out the kick change recently and threw several that moved like a lefty slider. Can’t thank you guys enough for the help, much appreciated.

I’ve been looking everywhere for a tutorial on how to grip and throw this, thank you!

i threw one with a standard circle change grip but i tried ripping down on the front of the ball as i pronated out and it dove like crazy

So it is a splitter movement profile from a change up grip?

[fuminggrain]

Because it has more depth is this pitch more platoon neutral than a standard changeup?

Is this a good pitch for sidearm pitchers
