Looks a lot like a screwball when you come over the ball
That’s what I was thinking
what he did in the vid was very exaggerated. with that grip, just think about finishing the pitch with your index finger. the ball should feel like it’s coming off the inside of the index finger at release. throw that pitch with the intent of a 4 seam fastball with that grip and mentality towards finishing the release and it’ll be nasty
Copying a similar sinker grip is how I learned how to throw a screwball. I did adjust the grip though.
depends on pronation.... I throw a screw fingers across thin part of thread
Screwball ye but for lefties.
Best way to show how u know what ur talking about: do it yourself. That pitch @ the end was absolutely filthy. Louisiana bayouuuu
alright then, sorry but who is this pitcher?? Ron Guidry Louisiana lightning is that what you meant
definitely a filthy pitch.. I wanna see more of his stuff
That was gross
When I was playing baseball that was my "fastball" grip until I learned it was a sinker lol I still use it
Anything can be a fastball grip ngl
@@Louie-ji8xn I never thought of that but it's kinda true
True@@Louie-ji8xn
The sinker is literally a type of fastball.
@@RupertMumphreyfr like people act like sinkers and cutters aren’t fastballs
wicked break on that one pitch.
bro the pitch at the end made me HOLLER.....holy shit
That's how I threw a slider negl, didn't even know how to throw a sinker.
yea but the difference between a slider and a sinker is the trajectory rather than the grip
The grip can be the same, though id instead get up around the curve of the laces and your release is obviously different, similar to a curve ball, if you pitch more like a side arm or submarine pitcher, your curve is most likely a slider.I couldn't throw a sinker to save my life from the side, I had to throw it from 3/4 .I rotated between side arm and over the top depending on what the coach called for or the catcher gave me the signal for.
Thanks man!
im a kid and im learning to pitch and it helps thanks
instructions unclear broke my wrist
Ok, deGrom.
So many professionals on this channel, I’ll bet there is so much competition to become a little league coach and help the kids that are actually out there trying to play.
These are my favorites and sitting next to Old Timers in wheelchairs asking me to ask the Players what’s going on in their Dugouts. ✌️♥️⚾️🇺🇸
COOL😊
Bro thank you, I’m throwing like a beast as a little leaguer😮😮😮
that pitch at the end was crazy
War Eagle! 🔵🟠🦅
Only the coaches sons got taught how to pitch
Or the kid who showed enough care and a work ethic
@@jmielke4341 definitely not my experience
@@RZS_bowl for me only the coach’s son got to catch
@@jmielke4341 I "couldn't" because I was left-handed. I did for a game though because I wouldn't stop asking 😂
@@RZS_bowl very interesting, I’ve never heard that before. Is it a thing for lefty’s to not catch? Thinking about it I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a MLB catcher who is a lefty
Same the sinker is my best pitch and I am 13
Best pitch in baseball, imo. Give me 27 ground ball all day. First guy gets lucky to find a gap, next guy hits into a dp. I only wish I could throw it😂
The perfect pitch
Ditto bro. WDE
I live in auburn
War Eagle!
Me personally, I threw my sinker like I put both my fingers on the side of the laces rotate the ball, so my fingers are facing towards the batter and then throw it so it has down spin
I like The "Stinker" . It's best
will this work for younger players? i may have to start pitching our team aint doin well
I sometimes will pitch and when i used to pitch I threw a sinker but i threw it a different way. I threw it with a 2 seam grip but has my thumb bent to make the ball on top of the joint/nail of my thumb. (This is the best I can explain it sorry if its a bad explanation)
It depends a lot. Most people can do everything right and the ball will just never move. Some people just pick it up and it moves like crazy. If you've never pitched before though just throw fastballs and focus on throwing strikes
Holy Christ that was nasty
You should show you throwing it more than once
Bro I'm a lefty at 14u and I need to work on my sinker so I'll try that grip tomorrow when I go to practice and see how well I do
Good luck ☺️
How did it go?!?! I hope well!!
Left us on the edge lol.
When you’re doing this, do not “twist” your wrist into pronation. You will mess your shoulder up by artificially mimicking torque. Instead, focus on “slashing” through the inside half of that ball from the top/outside through to your opposite hip. This will create that arm-side break without “twisting”. Common mistake when watching him do the slow-mo
This Is How I Throw My Nasty Slider
Nasty?
@@epichighlights8267 what do you think I said
@@epichighlights8267 you want me to say it again nasty
@@epichighlights8267 that’s what people say in baseball if you know anything about the subject which I doubt you do you most likely have zero clues
@@epichighlights8267 in baseball they say nasty
That was nasty
I was the 10,000th like
your best pitch will always be fastball, fastball, fastball
How do you get rid of shoulder pain bro it’s not even pain it’s just random Soreness that comes n goes , I thought had little league shoulder but starting to think it’s something else ? 😢
I don’t play baseball so I’m genuinely curious, are you putting a forward spin on the ball?
No. It’s more of like a slightly reverse side spin.
think of it like spinning the ball on the opposite side of where you want it to move. as for forward spin, it's what makes a curveball violently drop and the goal is to throw this pitch really fast so it wouldn't work like that, what you want to do is get around the baseball on the inside which will happen naturally with wrist pronation, the ball will spin off your fingers from the inside and top of the ball, matched with it's speed it will move like crazy
Im scared to throw like that😂
Im a position player but i like to pitch for fun
it's actually safer than a hard slider I think. it's all about how you get around the ball. that wrist pronation is actually way better for your arm than going around the ball outwards
Ooo daayuum
Now do swinging yorker
Is this how Greg Maddox threw the 2 seam fastball or is it a different thing
Pretty much the same thing. Some people call a pitch like this a 2 seam if it doesn’t drop as much as a sinker. I’ve also heard people call pitches like this 2 seamers if they’re up in the zone and sinkers down in the zone. They can be used interchangeably.
2 seam and sinkers are the same thing. The thing is if the ball tends to drop down more its usually called a sinker but if it just runs arm side its usually a "2 seam" but they're the same pitch
What if I throw side arm
...
The thing is he throws his sinker like a changeup. You grip it like a sinker, but throw it like a fastball with your rist diagonally so that it breaks like that, in that video he threw a pitch that was slightly slower but had the same movement as a sinker, either pitch works but that pitch ain’t a sinker in simple terms, yall welcome😂
No lol that's not a changeup that's just a regular sinker
I call that a close grip 4seam
4 seam goes across the horseshoe. You’re thinking more of like a 2 seam.
My sinker is a 1seam
God damn, that pitch was so filthy I had to take a shower after watching it
why turned on by a pitch lol
Can you coach me?
How fast do you throw it? Do you throw it full speed or take some off?
Throw it full effort. The spin makes it a couple MPH slower than a 4 seam fastball but to get good movement you gotta throw it hard. It is a fastball after all.
No matter what pitch you throw you always throw it as hard as you can
@@cubsfanman-nx6pg that's not true at all. Mixing up speeds is a good a way to keep the batter guessing.
@shootskas youre right mixing up speeds is one of the most important aspects of pitching but you should never do that by changing your arm speed. You should always mix up speeds by throwing off speeds and stuff. If you occasionally just throw a cookie fastball slower than normal it's just gonna get crushed
@@Shootskas Pitches have different speeds because of the grips and spin applied to the ball. The worst way to change speeds is by throwing a meatball.

To help with the arm action, think of pouring out a glass of water
@ron7_short No problem.
Pronate
Who is this guy
John Madden
That's way too much torque on the whole arm broski when a two seem can do the same exact thing depending on how u throw it
The terms 2 seam and sinker are mostly used interchangeably and he exaggerated for the video.
That’s how I throw my 2S 💀
It’s same grip
its the same pitch theoretically
Like who dont know..
At what point do I take the steroids?
Lol are you claiming this guy is on roids
Roids won't help you throw better pitches
As a powerlifter and former gearhead, I’ll touch on this a tad. First, pinning won’t make you pitch any better, only practice can accomplish that. But in six months of dedicated fastball training on the sauce you’ll exceed your fastest pitch pb by probably 10-20%
Do it already
Huh, so i threw sinkers my whole life and just thought i had good movement on my fastball. I never tried to find out what a sinker was until now and it turns out i can throw one. Time for a comeback....at 39!!!
Well a sinker is a type of fastball.
@@RupertMumphrey yeah I know it. I just never knew that's what I was throwing. I thought it was just how I released a two seamer, not that it was a different pitch
@@decker528 ok
Who is this?
I ain’t needa know bout yo accomplishments
I’m tanking that ball 611’ deep to right field
You wish to god
@@imjustthatnigga 😡
Isn't that a screwball?
Yes.
Look up Devin Williams explaining his screwball it's filth
@@bugwogger-pc4mi no, it isn't close
Now wait a minute. The pitch at the end was actually🤮🤢🤢🤮🤮. No one is hitting that
Enough of all these new pitch names. Its a fastball, always has been and always will
No, it hasn’t been. By that logic a sinker and cutter are the same because they’re both types of fastballs. They’re categorized differently because they move way differently.
But not good enough for the pros 😂
very difficult.... I played minor league. it's not easy
@@diabolivirtusen-tavares-ea4645 I’m sure. I was a good player as a kid, pitcher and third baseman. However, nobody would pay me for my skills. Lol. Although in college I played a few times against women division 1. Guards. They had no chance against me who at the time, was a 6ft, 180 pound guard. They had good fundamentals but too slow and couldn’t just like a 6ft guy
And who are you exactly
@@yankmyass I’m a guy who knows the guy isn’t in the pros. 🤷♂️
@libs-suk-balz he played professionally he just didn't play for a long time in the mlb which is extremely hard to play in lmao idk why that's an insult
Thats a screw ball dont teach kids to throw it like that
No its not its a sinker lol a screwball is way different. Also a screwball isn't even bad for your arm btw the reason people dont throw them is just that they suck
This guy is awfully full of himself lol
