Yes or no? the red sox/yankees rivalry is the biggest in sports.?
Similar to a 2 seam fastball just slide your index finger over to the same seam as your middle finger.Start slow it can be a little wild at first. Try throwing a few 2 seamers first.
Very carefully.
Twist your wrist right before you throw, it shouldnt hurt though
Does anyone think the Cards can win the NLCS or maybe even the World Series?
U know how to throw a 4-seam fastball, right? (If you are right handed) shift your hand to the right side of the seams maybe 1 inch. Then when you throw it, flip your wrist so it spins. It's like a slider except off of the 4-seam fastball instead of the 2-seamer.Why do yankee fans feel so damn entitled to win?
The basic idea is to throw a fastball but get a slight amount of side spin that makes the ball move in or out a few inches. You do this by moving your fastball grip (usually the 4-seam fastball grip) slightly off-center. Some pitchers bring the thumb slightly up the inside of the ball and the index and middle fingers slightly toward the outside. This gives you a pitch somewhere between a fastball and a slider, and, thrown properly, that's how the pitch will move, like a very tight slider. For young pitchers, though, there is a tendency to turn the hand too much toward the slider position, getting a "doorknob" action with the hand that can stress the elbow. I prefer to have the pitcher leave the thumb directly under the ball and move only the fingers slightly left or right, depending on which way you want to cut the ball. As you release it, think "fastball," and spin the ball hard with your middle and index fingers, just as you would the fastball. If you're a righthanded pitcher holding the ball slightly off-center to the outside part of the ball, the pitch should move a few inches away from a righthanded hitter--just enough to get it away from the barrell of the bat. Unless you have a fairly high arm angle (throw "over the top") it will be harder to learn to make the ball move the other way, but try it. Just offset the fingers slightly to the inside, and throw with fastball action.More Questions & Answers...
