my dad told me one sign for my pitches, a changeup. Otherwise just fastballs. I was 9 years old and never got the changeup sign the entire season. He gives it to me once and the guy bombs it 215 dead center for a homer lmao.

[matthewwiederhold]

Trying this tonight for live AB’s. It would be awesome to have a good changeup

[loatron]

Glad this dude understands the learning process and getting comfortable instead of just expecting people to throw it immediately

[cliffordfarley]

Try that grip on a two seam style. You’ll get a back door slider effect. Used to get a lot of no swing strikes on it

[ogshotglass]

Been fooling around with a different type of changeup. I hold it just like it were a knuckleball, but at release, I flick the fingers that are behind the ball. Done right, this causes a lot of front spin which causes the ball to dive. Changing the way it's held on the seams can cause it to break sideways as well.

[Flyin__ryan]

The key to a change up (or most any pitch) is the pronating of the wrist as you release. Ball must come off of the ring finger and create sideways spin so that it Can dive to your throwing arms side as it reaches the plate.

I wasn’t the biggest kid during my mid and late teenage years, 5’9”, 175, topped out around 84, but I threw my change up exactly the same way but focused more on the pinky as the brakes. Threw it straight over the top, same release point as my four seam. No pronation, and as you said, your middle fingers sort of stabilizes the ball as you get more comfortable with it. What made it unhittable was the fact that my arm speed along with the spin and action was the same as my four seam, but 8-10 mph slower. There’s really no way to teach a batter to hit a change up, by the way. As a righty, I surprisingly got my most swings and misses vs. right handed hitters. Maybe because I could more easily locate it, who knows. I actually emulated Ryan Madson’s grip and release point as far back as 2004, when he showed the way he gripped the pitch on a Sunday Night Baseball broadcast with Joe Morgan. And by the way, that story all your coaches tell you about throwing curveballs?….they’re all true. Lol. 33 years old and my arm is wrecked. Hahaha

Master your 4 Seam Fastball 1st. Ride that pitch till the majors. The later you begin throwing breaking balls, the longer your Tommy John tendon will cooperate. Advice given to me from Pedro Martinez in the DR winter ball.

[philliesboy]

Thank you I’ve been throwing decent change-ups but using a different grip

[The_State_of_Oklahoma]

Tbh I’m not even a pitcher but I still love watching this kind of stuff 💀

[Thr.Sidz]

I had a small hand disadvantage so I perfected the "Circle Change" Where you basically hold the ball like an ok👌🏽 Sign. It takes a lot more finesse & practice to Master the pitch, but it's a Must have for your pitch arsenal

[dio]

Man I'll definitely try this once I know how to throw a baseball!

[eliemichaud]

My favourite part is when he showed us an example of the pitch

[willtheog]

Probably take time getting used to but I'll try it thanks

[jjvargas]

I learned this exact pitch 21 years ago when I was 12...i had 6 pitches in my arsenal back then, this was definitely was nasty one🔥

[markuyehara]

The way Pedro and Maddux say throw it is easier: Release it off your ring finger.

[ENikolaev]

Really wish I had better coaches growing (zero shade to them, I quit baseball before it would have mattered) but I always had a cannon and played 3rd as a kid bc no one else could throw from 3rd to 1st, then left field bc no one could throw over a cut man and actually make a play at 2nd/3rd or home, then catcher bc I could throw the hardest/most accurate to second on a steal. I pitched occasionally but had no control, looking back I throw a “palm ball” that was really a changeup 95% of the time bc no one ever explained the seams or how they work to throw pitches, I always thought to throw a curve u had to turn over your arm like crazy, same with a cutter/splitter etc. don’t know I would’ve stayed with the sport through college like I did football, but shoot I would’ve played longer bc that would have been SO much fun to actually learn.

Back in the day I just held my 2 seam fastball grip loser with a looser grip and with the same motion let it slip out, it was awesome, nothing better than a great chang up

[erikpoff]

God bless everyone who sees this I hope you have a great rest of your day and a great day tomorrow God loves you 🤍🕊🤍❤️🙏🏼

[winsome]

I started throwing a palm/change like Trevor Hoffman and the movement is amazing. Takes some serious practice tho.
