Can anyone tell me more about a three finger change up? If you are watching the Cal State Fullerton game, their pitcher has a very effective change and I believe it is of this variety.
This has also seemed to be a popular pitch used by right hand pitchers this year in a few HS playoff games I have scouted.
The action on the pitch is very different from a circle change because when thrown it has rotation that appears as a fastball and then when it gets to the dirt and grass cut out, it drops off the table. I have also seen a kid "thumb down" or "pinkie down" it for more horizontal action.
Any tips or advice about this pitch would be much appreciated.
Thanks
