The arm angle thing is spot on in terms of tipping pitches. I had that problem and was never able to correct it effectively. Better to learn it the right way than have to fix bad habits! Great video!
Hey Coach Justin my name is Massoud Beardsley and I’m a college player and I haven’t played in the last two years due to the pandemic and I’m always willing to learn new things so thank you for teaching me how to throw a curveball! How hard is it being a pitcher in college?
That's what he says but it's not true. Look up articles about the maximum velocity for a fastball. Basically, just the force from throwing a fastball the max that your body is capable of tearing your tommy john ligament. Just a fastball can tear that. Curveballs were easier on my arm cuz I just "pulled down a curtain" with my curveball motion. Simple and fluid.. just like a fastball.
man i was a good fast ball pitcher and now i think i have the curve ball thing down i have been practicing with my dad too and its nice to know that now i know how not to get injured thanks.
This is so helpful! I'm only 13 but I'll be in high school this coming year and I have a foundation with my fastball/changeup so I thought I'd add a breaking ball to my arsenal so thank you so much UltimateBaseballTraining!
@@Brownwell_Corp i did jv in my junior year when I was new to the game I learned so much. I’m looking forward to join varsity next year. Just practice man you can do anything
Yep, don't think you want the ball facing 2nd or CF. Or the drill ball to the wall is not right. Always was told by higher up guys ball should face 3rd not 2nd. Dont early pronate
@@thegoldenmaniac872 I'm a shortstop lol. But occasionally they put me in to pitch since my arm is the most durable on the team. If I didn't pitch with everything I had, I could easily go all 9 innings. Plus I'm a lefty, so it throws the hitters off
@@ShowMakerVGC I did play second because ik really good st it but since none of the high school coaches know me I'm a pitcher. I throw hard but my arm hurts after every game
Nice video, Also, something to help is when you bring your arm forward for the throwing motion, if you are a righty, I really focus on as I come through my release point bringing my right elbow down to my left knee. It increases my spin rate without having to "snap" my wrist and the physics of how the ball rolls off the INSIDE of my middle finger puts more spin on the ball with less strain on my arm. Its also much easier to control IMO.
When I was a kid, I think 12 my dad refused to teach me how to throw a breaking ball because he said it would mess up my elbow. Throughout that season he didn't know one of my buddies taught me "behind closed doors" if you will to throw it. Well one night we had a game at our home diamond and dad was the umpire. Late in my pitching session we were way ahead of the other team so I decided I was going to throw one thinking dad might chew my ass if I mess it up but if I get a strike maybe he won't be mad. WRONG! At the end of that inning I was walking off the mound and dad was walking to me and stopped me. He said "that was a good breaking ball on the corner but don't you ever let me see you do that again, do you understand me? " 😳 I always wondered if that was true about kids throwing those at a young age or if that was just a myth but 31 years later the experts seem to think dad was right lol
This is just like the 5 other curveball videos I saw, as he never actually explain how to get the ball to spin correctly. Can someone please explain how, or send a video that explains it.
Thanks bro, great info. I have a 8 year old that is struggling to learn proper throwing mechanics in general. Do you have any videos on kids learning to throw a baseball?
Basics for throwing a curve ball is this. You throw it and have the motions of a fastball. It is all about your fingers on the seam of a ball, and snapping down your hand when you throw the ball!
Thanks, I've never had it explained to me the right way to throw a curve. Could you also show how some of the other pitched are thrown? And, what the action of the ball will be when it reaches the plate. Slurve, curve, slider, sinker, knuckler, etc. doesn't exactly describe the path of the ball, or the different velocities of each pitch.
I once threw a curve ball that was in the middle than went down and all the way to the left I was 11 when I did that I’m 12 now I can still throw a good curve
So I'm only twelve and I watched a vid on how to throw a "slur" and now when I try to thro a curveball it curves to the outside is that good? If not can I have Some tips?
I think it would have been super beneficial to see you actually throw one. See the result. Could do a slow-mo part where we see it coming out of your hand. Other than that, super informative. Just need that extra visual to bring it all together.
I already know how to but ever since I started throwing a slider I can’t get the same movement and my curveball moves to the side and it’s still dropping
For every 12-13 year old kids starting to throw curve balls...at your age throwing a curveball will most likely end up going good for you at your age. So you will want to throw them over and over. You will get addicted to throwing them. But this is a problem. Some kids relise they can striker any kid out now.... this makes them abuse the power and throw them not stop.. eventually when you get to high school your arm will be done and no more baseball.... so basically I’m saying with great power comes with great responsibility.. it’s crazy at 12 years old could change your whole career... hope this helps
Thank you for teaching me how to throw a Curveball

Isn't that premature pronation that you point your ball at second base when you try to throw a fastball?
Yep, don't think you want the ball facing 2nd or CF. Or the drill ball to the wall is not right. Always was told by higher up guys ball should face 3rd not 2nd. Dont early pronate

I'm a sidearm/submarine pitcher, how would you throw a breaking ball when your fingers are parallel to the ground. I can't figure it out please help.
Baseballer_AJ you would just throw more of a slurve
I'm a side arm pitcher as well so I need help to
I like your videos and I have subscribed ...but where's the footage of you breaking off some curve balls ??...😀
Im 14 years old and Im trying to make my highschool team I needed to learn to throw curve, sinkers, etc. This helped me a lot thanks
This is going to help me with my baseball dream thank you!
Hey dude thank you so much I thought you had to throw it sidearm now I know
Throwing sidearm is terrible for the arm

Do you have any tips for players from Europe to become a baseball player for a college team?
Bloodsport are you in the US from Europe or are you in Europe?
Yes, go to college in America

Thanks for teaching me how to throw a curve ball 👍
i really love curve balls and sliders thanks for teaching us the curve i will also use this pitch to the tryouts of our baseball team
Do you aim for the same spot when pitching the curveball as you do for a fastball ? Or do you have to find a new spot to aim for ?
You never aim anything. You throw.
I didn’t know baseball was so technical
Congratulations who ever learned
Thanks for the teaching
Thanks for bringing back the memories.. I better go to 7-Eleven buy a bag of ice so I can soak my arm after 30 years🤣😍🤣
This is very helpful thank you
Thanks man! This help me out when I was on the mound! Im the best pitcher in my baseball team! I'm working on my screwball! I'm 15 btw
You have a good name for an athlete too
Bringing my elbow in first was how I was taught.had good break to it but regret it now
Who’s 30 out here and trying to learn a curve ball 😅

really helped me👍
excellent vid thank you

How old should I be when I throw the curve ball?

Pls don’t use that many emojis
Thanks for teaching me how to throw a curveball im playing baseball so i want to throw fast and good.
This will help, thanks
I think it would have been super beneficial to see you actually throw one. See the result. Could do a slow-mo part where we see it coming out of your hand. Other than that, super informative. Just need that extra visual to bring it all together.
Nice video!
thank you i have increased my pitching accuracy ten fold
i think I might need some more practice with this one but I'll get there
I already know how to but ever since I started throwing a slider I can’t get the same movement and my curveball moves to the side and it’s still dropping
How do you practice throwing that arm slot
You said the word in your sentence. PRACTICE. You have to go out there and throw, mess around with it, and eventually you'll get it!
i need speed curve ball, can you make video please
If you still don’t really get it for some reason just think of throwing it how you are hammering a nail. Always worked for me at least
great tips!
Well explained.
Wish you had actually thrown one to illustrate.
got a 9 pitch inning throwing 2 curves. thanks
was waiting for him to actually throw the ball
Thank u 🙏
Justin not just cracked at fortnite he cracked at baseball 😂 thanks for teaching me god bless 🙌🏼
same one I got two tho a infield and outfield one
Okay I learned how to throw a curveball today
Thank you so much I used to only play outfield then I struck a kid out with a curveball and now I pitch
It's not just how you grab the ball, it's how you release it!
