It shouldn’t bother me. But that is 1 o’clock my good sir

First time the cutter ever made sense to me. The spin breakdown really helped

I accidentally learned to throw this in the bullpen during a game

Ive been spending the last 3 hours learning every pitch that i dont know already this is the only channel with that

I freaking hate it when my fastballs turn into cutters!

[halfgermanantony]

Good info. Some say to "remove the white" showing right of your fingers to the curved seam. I have found that with the curved seam to the left, if I hold it same way (fingers to the left side of ball and more pressure with index finger), the ball will cut to the right (I am right handed.). Which I had known all this as a player and coach years ago but we never stop trying to learn. Hence, thanks for all your videos.

Me personally, the cutter is definitely one of my favorite pitches

[gehrigperry]

Amazing 👏 very clear and I got the message great vid

I always did the slider and turned it to the right, making a very strong grip. And omg it does way more than just a cutter, it’s like a sinker/cut

[RetiredJB]

thank you so much been looking how to throw this pitch

[jonnya]

My god. I would've been such a better pitcher if youtube existed in the late 90's.

[shawnt]

Finally old enough to play in my men's league. Gonna use this to strike out a bunch of 40 year old dads lol.

Hmmm did mine the Rivera way. Slider grip with it being offset a bit and throw never failed.

Does the cutter need to be thrown just like a fastball with the only difference being the slight change in grip?

[bayjustin]

What does a cutter do ?
It’s a sliding fastball?
I’ve seen cutters go mid 90’s …
A slider could never go that fast 😢

Do you have to have any wrist movement or would you throw it just like a four seam

[jeremykates]

It’s actually not gyro spin that’s introduced. Gyro spin won’t cause the ball to move. If you were to draw a line that goes through the axis of rotation for the ball, that line should still be parallel to the plane the ball travels through (think of a plane that makes a big wall) If that line isn’t parallel then there would be some gyro spin.

You can also think of it this way. If a ball had fully gyro spin (rotating like a football), the line would pass through from the front to the back of the ball which would be perpendicular to the plane it travels through, which means that spin wouldn’t have any effect on the ball breaking

Do you hold it the same way if with your left hand?

Same or instead of holding it on the “one oclock “ should I hold it on the 11 oclock?

Question: do you also want to adjust the placement of your thumb to match the grip on the seam?

[flickboogers]

My fingers are always spread further apart when I did four seam fastballs seems like yours is closer like when I held my curve ball
