      If he's been throwing it since he was a kid, he probably had already made the release something very natural to him.

    He wouldn’t call his pitch a screwball?

    This guy has unlocked the fourth quadrant...when you look at short-form pitch movement charts, most of the best mlb changeups are quadrant one (pitch moves to the glove side and ever-so-slightly up), meaning the ball is mostly spinning to the glove side with some backspin. The lack of backspin compared to a fastball gives the pitch less of a Magnus-force in the upward direction, so it does not counter-gravity as much and therefor appears to "drop or fall off the table." Devon Williams' change up actually has forward spin, like a curveball. Insane. This pitch is technically a screwball thrown with a circle-change grip. The movement profile is like a curve-ball from a low-3/4 lefty pitcher, or even a slider, and the spin-rate on that thing is more than a lot of curves. Just insane. It's just not something you are gonna see from another pitcher.

    Thats a screwball, which is actually so cool since no one else throws one these days.

    I'm guessing this is just part of the interview. Is there a full length version somewhere?

    • @PitchingNinjaVideos
      @PitchingNinjaVideos  3 роки тому +8

      I haven't released the full version. It's 1:15 so it's long. Trying to break these up into more manageable pieces.

    Exact same grip I used. I eventually switched to more of an across two-seam type grip. Two-seam change-up would cut with low-seam pro baseballs. Bury ball in middle & ring finger & upper palm area of hand. But remember to just keep a firm grip with fingers. Don’t choke it. Throw like you would throw a fastball. Just with different fingers. Keep fingers on top of baseball at release out front. Use other fingers/thumb to create different pressure points. Do a drill where you kill your backside when throwing change-up, do it during long-toss & side-sessions(it forces you to create Fastball arm action). Different grip. Fastball mindset. Let the grip do the work.
