    I agree Waino is brilliant. His last year in the league singing the national anthem at Busch 😂 and all his interviews got me liking him a lot more then I already did but his move into broadcasting has pushed it to another level he was great at the all star game too so down to earth and quick few jabs at Albert great to see 😂

    Apparently, the screwball requires Laz Diaz behind the plate in order to be effective.

    Movement wise a screwball is just a pitch with a lot of depth and run. Lots of changeups and splitters move like screwballs

    The screwball never really went anywhere. It just evolved into the circle change.

      @@todd.goslin6190 No they’re fundamentally different. The screwball is a breaking pitch, designed to make the hitter swing over the top off. A circle change is an off speed pitch with a little extra bite that hitters get out in front off thinking it’s a fastball. It would be correct to state that the change-ups variations derived from the palmball.

      @doublem1975x not at all. For the most part, both have side spin with a combination of arm side run and sink. A good screwball should have more movement because the spin rates should be higher.

  • @highanglelarry
    @highanglelarry 5 месяцев назад +2

    Didn't someone determine the Airbender is a screwball, because of the high spin rate.
    Personally I'm torn on the circle change screwball debate (same pitch or not). They move the same but that spin rate, I think, makes the screwball dive just alittle more.

    • @PitchingNinjaVideos
      @PitchingNinjaVideos  5 месяцев назад +4

      It has a higher spin rate than screwballs too. It's its own pitch. Which is why I came up with the Airbender name.

    I never understood why the screwball is so rare. The first breaking ball I learned. Pronating came naturally to me maybe it’s just a feel thing. I used 3 fingers holding like a 2 seam and tried to spin off ring finger like a mother fucker. Worked well but not well enough or id be in these videos hahah
