Reply to "Pitching anomaly"

coach,

I find this to be true at this age due to the size of the kids hands and fingers. It was no different for me when I was that age. My hand size better suited the two seamer because the ball without all the seams was smaller in my hand this allowing me to finish the pitches better. The four seamer didnt start to feel comfortable to me until College where my hand grew and the four seamer bacame more comfortable in my hand. Ball basically became a better fit in my hand and I was able to finish through the pitches.
As the guys go from the 15 to the 17 age group it is important to watch the kids grips. Their body changes a lot at this period, and you have to make the adjustments with the grip right along with the body changes.

My geuss is the ball feels better to him with the two seamer, the four seamer has a tendency to feel like a beach ball in a smaller hand.
JMO..
