I wouldn't learn that pitch just yet. I'd wait until you're older and have a stonger arm. It will mess up your arm. I know from experince. I started pitching when I was 12 and pitched until my senior year of high school. My senior year, I sat out. My arm was done for. Try throwing a change-up. In a league you're in, a fastball and change-up would be all you need. If your a lefty, fastball is all you need. We have that natural break. Good Luck bud. |

The way I learned it, which will help prevent you from ruining your elbow, is to hold the ball between your thumb and index finger with your middle finger under the ball. Throw the ball normally, but with your thumb and index fingers beside the ball, instead of under and over as you would a fastball, and let it "slip" out with forward rotation. I dominated when I was 10-12 using this pitch. You should not start pitching a curve until you are at least 13. I'm assuming you are at that age or over so this is how I threw a curveball when I played baseball. Get a two seam grip, bring your middle finger down the horseshoe to the side of it (keep it on the seam), and put your index finder right next to it. When you are throwing it, dont turn the ball backwards, short arm it, twist your wrist, and practice it a lot before you try it in a game. Don't try it!!!!!!!!! until High School. there are numerous ways to throw a curve no you don't need to throw a curve... it is a very predictable pitch and you can screw ur arm up. |
