Reply to "Pitching anomaly"

Bravescoach-

It is just one of those things that happens that is hard to explain. Every pitcher has to find what works for him and I still am not really sold aboutn the velocity differences in 2 versus 4 seamers. I've heard it a million times too but call me a doubting Thomas, I guess. (Where is Gotwoodforsale with a picture) My one kid cannot throw anything straight whether it is a 2 or 4 seamer (it just moves in a different plane)& the other kid follows a little more of what you say. However, I am a big arm slot guy and I think the key is in the arm slot & where your hand is at release. Kids who spin off get a lot of run on everything they throw regardless of the grip. At least that is the case with my two. I guess you just have to experiment and find out what works. Sparky's explanation sounds like a winner with the smaller kids. Many of the little kids use 3 fingers whn they throw cause their hands are so small. Have a great Holiday everyone!!!
