Reply to "The change-up: how to use it and when..."

You are right, one could write a book on the change up.

I don't think my son uses his CU enough however that is not his bread and butter pitch.

I believe that pitchers have different stuff and all use it differently. My son uses his CU for a big swing and a miss and uses his sinking 2 seam FB for the 3 hopper to the ss.

BTW, son has told me that JBB's son has a great CU and he knows how to use it, for sure!

It is common to use a CU first pitch strike when players are young because young hitters go for the first pitch.

I think it is a good idea to encourage the use of the change for younger pitchers, it is important for them to learn to trust it.
