@gojaysgorush Niekro probably gripped it a number of different ways. Many pitchers grip their pitches differently depending on the count. That's how Mo has always been so effective changing speeds and break with the same basic pitch. The importance of different grips of the same pitch on the ball is terribly undermined by some pitching coaches.
I used to have a nasty knuckleball when I was a kid. I got an umpire laughing at a batter one time. I'm starting to throw once again, so I'm hoping to be able to get my pitching ability back some. Thanks for the video.
Hey Sean, Your knuckleball is nasty, i kinda have one, i throw it with 4 fingers though and i can only throw a perfect knuckle ball about 2/10 times, it would be awesome if you could show me how to throw it better, message back if you can

@jeremiahskye10 knucklers arent really mainstream pitchers. very rare to see a team with a knuckler. and lets be honest, knuckleballs arent exactly the most accurate pitches. hard to throw one for a strike when it counts.
@LongBoardingSC its harder too.. hahah you can learn how to throw a knuckleball in a few days if you watch somebody who throws it well.. its hard as hell to catch it haha
He's fucking in. You're fucking out.
