      PitchingAcademy thank you so much it actually helped me a lot and its true that u are a very good pitching instructor but I got one question when I throw my change-up in that wrist position it doesn't work but when I throw it like a fast-ball it works why is it like that

  • @miked1120
    @miked1120 10 років тому +20

    The BEST instruction! And the best way to throw a curve. Coaches; stop teaching to curl the wrist and/or flick the wrist.

    @BorntoMineBO2 9 років тому +34

    This helped so much, my coaches have always told me over the top with the curve, and that's why my elbows been hurting

    Best explanation I've ever heard. Really appreciate you going over both the do's and the don'ts. Could never throw a curve my whole life, then just went out to the backyard and there it was, haha. Looking forward to teaching my son!

    Holy f-ing shit. FINALLY, a proper video on how to throw a curve ball. And this technique, just ain't for beginners. The amount of disagreements I've had with other coaches; you DON'T have to cup your wrist or 'snap' your wrist.
    Great instruction!!!!!!

  • @regionman
    @regionman 12 років тому

    Finishing through with a straight wrist and the thumb up (supination) will allow the olecranon process of the ulna bone to make injurious contact with it's fossa on the humerus bone. To prevent this from occurring and to increase rotation on the ball the release should be powerfully pronated so after release the wrist is turned down and the thumb is pointed downward.

    It wasn't throwing the curveball that messed your shoulder up. It was your mechanics. I pitched for 35 years and had a mean 12 to 6 and never had elbow or shoulder problems.

    we faced a freshman that threw a nasty curveball and he pitched us out in the conference the other day, it was the saddest day of baseball in my life......so I'm gonna try my best to master this pitch so i can come back next year and see how effective it is.

    How fast does the ball have to be going for it to break? I could never make it happen.

    • @cursed_legend2215
      @cursed_legend2215 9 років тому

      Probably close to 40, as a 14 year old I've screwed around and got break throwing it like 20, although if I throw it regularly I usually can get decent break once it's mid 50s (confirmed by a speed gun)

    What age groups would you consider "beginners"?

    • @PitchingAcademy
      @PitchingAcademy  9 років тому +2

      Kyle Taylor It depends on how their fastball mechanics look. It varies greatly. I'll have a handful of lessons solely on mechanics with my students first before showing them a changeup. Then, when they get the changeup down very well; accuracy and movement then I will show them a curveball.

    • @Joel-cv6hw
      @Joel-cv6hw 9 років тому +2

      About 13 or 14

  • @STEDDAWG13
    @STEDDAWG13 12 років тому +2

    I don't understand why 12 year olds are commenting on this. For them throwing a curveball is very dangerous, because their muscles haven't formed yet, so therefore they can have permanent damage on their arm.

  • @PitchingAcademy
    @PitchingAcademy  12 років тому

    Sorry you did it incorrectly. I don't know your complete story but where did you learn mechanics? If you have sound mechanics first and then learn the curve the right way you seriously minimize the risk of any injury. good luck!

  • @patrickrichert4150
    @patrickrichert4150 9 років тому +2

    You constantly say don't throw it over the top, and follow your regular armslot. What if your armslot is naturally over the top? I think this might give the impression that you shouldn't throw over the top at all, ever.

  • @modzforbob

    thts because your 15 and throwing sliders/curveballs. do you know why major leaguers go for surgery on their elbows its because the snap of the wrist hurts your ligaments in your elbows. 15 is too young for curveballs and sliders all you need in your pitch arsenal at 15 is a 4 seam, 2 seam, and a change up. add in a knuckleball or splitter if you wanna
