  • @chowdogs2 Just because he's a lefty doesn't mean the balls gonna tail.

  • that was dope!

  • This is the pitch i have a lot of trouble with, either it;s my natural arm slot or what but it does not seem to fade away from my natural arm angle like it should. I throw it and sometimes it curves the opposite way =(. Sometimes i get a cutting action too but i can't seem to get the sinking action. I have seen a few grips for the 2 seam fastball, 1 is when you place your finger right on top of the 2 seams, another is when you actually place your fingers between the 2 seams. Any tips?

  • @Antimidation Do you pronate?

  • @melloanthony wow, why the heck did it put my message up 3 times? Anyways. Yes, i do. But the opposite wrist action is a little tough, I always thought the grip on the 2 seam was to allow the ball to slip off your fingers in the reverse rotation needed. I will put more emphasis on it. Thanks.

  • @Antimidation PRetty much throw it like a fastball but when you throw it turn it so your palm is facing the direction of your arm so since I'm a right I'm going to turn my palm in where it will face the right side of me instead of supinating which you do on a curve ball slider or cutter. Get it?

  • @melloanthony Yeah I get it. Do you play in an adult league?

  • @melloanthony Thanks for the responses!

  • nice pitch. but for some reason when i throw my 4 seam fastball it looks like a 2 seamer but i dont grip like a 2 seam fastball. i grip the ball around the horse shoe and i thorw over the top. it's kinda like colon's fastball from the yankee's expect i dont throw 96 mphs or make it move that nasty like he does.

  • well remember hes lefty so he already has natural tail...

  • i'm a lefty but i can throw my 2-seamer to break to the left or the right its pretty cool

  • Ball 2?

  • is it like a screw ?

  • i get movement like tht on mine .....but i throw it like a screwball...and i throw 3/4

  • @makinbacon011 me 2 but i throw sidearm

  • WOW! My 2-seam almost looks like yours

  • im gunna laugh  if u hit the camera

  • I finally got mine to move but it curves to the left and im right handed

  • @flasheagle13 maybe you arent holding the ball hard enough

  • @flasheagle13 Im a shortstop not a pitcher so i cant say that mine will work against a hitter, but ive found while messing around during warmups that if you grip the ball just off the laces (to the right if you are a righty) and release the ball at the lowest point possible in your motion you can maximize the tail. then again it differs for everyone based on delivery and motion.

  • i cant ever get mine to move i think im throwing it right an sugestions?

  • @flasheagle13

     the harder you throw the more it will move if thrown correctly, but if u snap ur wrist to the right a little bit it will move

  • Why doesn't he pronate his wrist right before he lets go of the pitch to get more movement? I saw some other pitcher in another video do that...

  • BALL 1

  • cool

  • wow

    

  • anyone know why whenever I try to throw a two seamer it cuts instead of tailing

  • @baddazler that's probably cuz he not amming he's just showing the pitch

  • No movement it hung ... if that was in the strike zone surely would have been sent ...... HOME

  • @TheFlyAndFree It's a fastball it can't hang, and you can clearly see it tail to the outside part of the plate, that's a tough pitch to hit.

  • @millerliteisgud as far as movement goes i mean it had uh little tail but not really i jus realized he was a lefty

  • Decent movement. Wish he threw it with shuuto movement. If he did omg I would call him a god for that.

  • eww bad movement

  • thats beast and for al u haters out there id like to c u get movement on a 2 seam like that

  • This Guy Throws alittle bit like cole hamels.

  • ball

  • he hasnt thrown a strike in any of these videos

  • @baddazler but most of them ppl would swing

  • I have watched your videos and they have helped a lot! I dont pitch but it is nice to see how the pitches move through the zone. very well put together.

  • your right i threw a2 seam fastball and i thought it was a regular fastball until you said that if you throw a 2 seam with the right hand it cuts to the right

  • Honestly ive never seen anybody than the average pro baseball player or Mlb player have that much movement on a fastball thanks dude

  • honestly ive never seen anyone other than your average Mlb player have that much movement on a 2 seam fastball nice job

  • Nice parachute after you throw for your arm, they showed how cliff lee does that last night on ESPN. Great form

  • THUMBS UP IF UR A LEFTY!!

  • yeah that was pretty fucking sick man. Good one

  • that was dirty

  • u got some good movement on that but for some reason everyone tells me to keep my arm stiff when i relaese it for more affect

  • u can just throw a 4 seamer side armed and it has more tail

  • so this is pretty much a cutter kinda sorta or not reaally

  • @BaseballFan13100 cutters go the other way... so sorta

  • if u want to just preasure on any 1 of the 2 seams it can either way dam u forgot that 1 didnt u

  • u didnt teach us how u just showed us u could do it. wtf?

  • @ePiCsCenEzZ yea he tought us wat do you think "put your fingers on the 2 seams" meant, on a two seam there really is no special way to throw it, you throw normal overhand or put more pressure on one of the 2 seam if u want, now if he did this for say a curveball then he didnt teach us anything but the way to grip it.

  • @Halo7Legend oh.. no wonder LOL

  • @ePiCsCenEzZ ok

  • Nice one lol thumbs up if u play BaseBall

  • For some reason, my two seam is more straight forward, and my four seam is the one that tails so much. Any explanation to that? Haha

  • @TheIsom15

    My guess is that you may be trying more to snap your wrist on the 4-seamer. I used to have that problem where I would turn my wrist in on the release and it would break almost 6 inches, like a screwball. So I can't throw a 4-seam fastball, but I can throw a 2-seam and a wicked screw...not a bad thing I guess.

  • That was some real nice movement

  • thanks i might start lifting weights and practice my fastball and posibly pitch for my varsity team next year.

  • im 13 i only throw 60s but speed doesnt matter... if u can hit ur spots and u know how to change things up u will do fine. i was 12 and threw about 50 mph and i threw a 1 hitter with 14 strike outs, obviously it wasnt speed it was my location and breaking balls

  • this guy looks like he has never thrown a baseball in his life...

    I am a 6'2'' freshman, #2 Varsity starter..i throw low 70's to mid 80's

    im also playing in a few showcases this year and working with Atlanta Braves Scout John Stewart

  • @HLx04 I made up my own stories about an Orioles scout watching me when I was in highschool; nice try. If you throw in the 70's you aren't being scouted. A sophomore in my area throws low 90's and he doesn't have a scout watching him.

  • @HLx04 congrats on making your self look like a fucking asshole lmao

  • @HLx04 He looked good to me.Oh and my son is 14 and throws 80. He's 5'11" 193lbs and the boy is good. i didnt see anything wrong with this video

  • @HLx04 Want a cookie buddy? Put one where your ego is sonny.

  • Great Videos I use them all the time 5 stars

  • i throw straight over the top causing my 2 seamer to not break

  • @themadman009 i throw straight over the top also and i have always wondered why my two seam does't move! thanks for randomly commenting that.....

  • The 2 seamer is an unbalanced sphere so its flight is not true. The 4 seamer is equal and balanced. Thats why the 2 seamer jumps around.

  • Nice movement on that pitch

  • ball 4 take your base

  • Small tip that'll help you out bigtime...While you rotate your hips and start your arm forward to throw it, pull your glove hand in towards your body...Trust me there will be a drastic increase in your speed and accuracy as well as movement in pitches. hope you took this as "constructive" criticism im only trying to help because there are many who would look to this video and copy every little thing...and what your doing will create arm injury in the long run...

  • Idk who the fickin idiot it was that said it but u can't pitch screwball with fastball speed. That is describing a damn 2 seam fastball stupid. that's like sayin my curve is as fast as my fastball. that would most likely be a breaking ball...

  • wow so many people having opinions on how to throw 'properly', put a camera where that mouth is.

  • @AtTheDriveBy I say just take a tennis ball throw it against your fence in your backyard and just experiment with pronating , arm angle, pressure on fingertips all that stuff.

  • calm down..cy young ;P

  • make me u wittle terd

  • sorry for the rate i put it was an mistake

  • xD never see a break

  • this guy has the worst mechanics ive ever seen, and that ball was moving no faster then 50mph

  • what the hell that was a crap thro man

  • maybe das a sinker, not the 2-seam fastball, or u dont throw in enough power tho

  • my dad thought i threw a curve but it was my 2 seamer it was awsome

  • there both completley 2 different pitches that break 2 different directions smh

  • u can get much much much more break if u hold it like me. that grip if u throw it up high it gets jacked

  • ur 2 seam fastball brakes sort of like a screw ball

  • lol its supposed to man

    the 2 seam breaks in the direction of the hand you throw with.

  • what i do is that i flick my wrist lyk a screwball but i have space between the ball and my had lyk a fastball to get the same speed of a fastball but flickin my rist lyk a screwball

  • i have troble to hitee

  • hey next when you make a video can you show us how you grip the other fingers besides the primary ones....

  • with fucking 2 crow hops

  • what the fuck, Cricket has a wider bat...

  • Damn, if it's a left hand batter, he threw it behind his back...

  • this guy is lieing because i tried this and it did not drag

  • So you're not even remotely open to the possibility that you might be doing it wrong? Or that maybe you just need a little bit of the P word (hint: practice).

    Watch old videos of Randy Johnson throwing a back door two-seamer to a right handed batter. You'll see some serious drag back in on the plate.

  • what if it doesnt move? wats the problem is it mechanics thats wrong?

  • by the way hows the queen? assholes...

  • Get fucked youself!, are you accusing Dennis lilly or tommo o being on roids!?, that is the biggest load of shit ive ever heard and shaun tait did break it but it was never recorded!, so get ya fuckin facts straight, Your Victorian aren't you?.

  • Mate what are you saying?, i know for a fact that Dennis lilly was bout 163+, and Thommo is said to have been even faster, and even today Shaun tait has been the undeclaired fastest yet, he's even quoted this in the paper, but he can't aim for shit after his first over. DomakaBadass, stoooopid american can tell your a yank by the way you say "ass", british devil eh, american wank stain to you!!, hahahaha.

  • Are you a retard. Only one person has broke the 100mph mark. I think you got your facts wrong mate. PS the guy who did that was on roids

  • sickk

  • hey aheadstix eat shit and die you british devil

  • nice

  • Im British but just fuckin love baseball. All you fags better shut up about cricket when you have likely never seen a ball bowled in your life. There both good sports but totally different. If you want to compare baseball to something compare it to Softball.

  • i north korea rapes all you british panzies....

  • Why dont you run along and eat some dog and noodles?

  • okay by the way you british panzy theres atleast 20 baseball players that have a 100mph+ fastballso eat that- by the way you british fags need to drop the bitchy attitudes- you all sound like little girls

  • ok cricket is for pussies baseball is a real sport thats my take

  • Ok first of all. never call someone a knob. you sound like a dumbass that's the stupidest insult ive ever heard. and secondly, what the hell are you even talking about? tee ball isnt an olympic sport! and baseball is being replaced because it's got steroid issues. it's sure as hell not being replaced cuz it's worse than cricket!

  • Just telling you now!, cos from 2012 its replacing your Baseball or t-ball or whatever the fuck you yanks call it!, so get used to it, Knob!

  • And also, get used to cricket, its replacing T-ball or mini baseball or whatever you call it by the 2012 London games, coz apparently not enough country's play T-ball. And by the way its the 20/20 shortened version of he game replacing it.

  • omfg stop it with the baseball v. cricket bullshit this is a baseball video no one gives a shit what happens in fucking cricket because the people watching this play baseball

  • You think cricket is boring?, then you should watch the "Ashes" test going on right now in England, its a series of 5 Cricket matches between Australia and England that has been going on for over 200 years, and us the Aussies have won most of em cos we have the best team in the world(fact). if you wanna see a real cricket game watch that. You will see what a spin bowler can do as well as a guy Bowling at over 160+ mph, now thats fast!, this is considred "The game" in Cricket.

  • dude, I am an aussie and love both cricket and baseball. Each game is unique in its own way. But your saying there is a cricket bowler that can bowl over 160mph?!?!?! That has never been done, nor will it ever be done!! Brett Lee's fastest bowl was JUST over 160KM/H .... which is barely breaking the 100mph mark. IMO you can do a lot more with a baseball than you can with a cricket ball. But having the ball bounce in cricket does make it difficult to judge.

  • Ashes = 1-0

  • Vanilla roller, did you know over 120 countrys play cricket not just pasty limey Brit, youv'e got Ireland, Holland, South africa, New zealand, Australia, West indies, Jamaica. just to name a fiew, theres even a team in the states!, and did you know you've got an Aussie ex- fast bowler with a 98+ mph speed delivery in one of your big overblown baseball teams, i heard Rodriguez's best was round 92+ mph?!. so i say pffffft!, to you.

  • Lol, i dont me price "cheap" i mean cheap as in how the game is played, sure there are similarities but hey, the game of cricket has changed alot in it's 700 year history with its traditional form of county cricket to modern test cricket. baseball wasn't invented till the mid 1840's, round about .

  • Just remember mate Cricket is the worlds second most popular sport after soccer so just think of that next time you bag a game so great!, and besides everybody knows(eccept for you yanks) that Basball is just a cheap rip off of cricket!, so stick that up your "ass!".

  • well i hope you realize that cricket players make now where near the amount baseball players make, so apparently baseball is not cheap.

  • Well, the only thing that I care about is what is fun and entertaining to watch.

    I personally think baseball is better than cricket.

    Culture has a lot to do with what sports people and countries play, too.

    Baseball happens to be America's pastime, so we enjoy it. I'm not bashing cricket, either. I've played it; Our school has a team.

  • nasty 2 seam

  • i do the same windup thingy as he does and im wondering, at 1:07 on the vid if i take a step to first and throw is it a bawk? im 13 so im just learning about pickoffs. all im good at is a fastball and changeup lol.

  • i throw a good two seam

  • lmao Yeah, cricket bowlers bringin' the heat, huh. Some pasty limey with a boat paddle and bomb-squad gear on waiting to "hit" a bouncing rubber ball comin' at him at a whopping 30MPH. Look out, Felix Hernandez!!

  • lol

  • The two-seam fastball is designed to have more movement than a four-seam fastball, but can be more difficult to master and control. This ball will tend to move for the pitcher a little bit depending on velocity, arm slot angle and pressure points of the fingers.

  • lol where u get that from wikipedia?

  • hey u lefty too? i am so happy ur a lefty cuz im a lefty.

  • me 2 leftys rock

  • aha same here im alright at curves but i have to work on sliders is that same problem for you?

  • if i could throw a 2 seamer like that id be playin d1 haha. not..

  • I dunno if it's just how you are throwing it.... but i thnik that's a BIT more than a LITTLE break... Nice

  • shut up dude ur a fagot u dont know what ur talking about its whatever is more comfortable for u dumbass

  • ahhh it's been years since i last saw this video. I remember when I saw it for the first time. I was all into MLB the show 06 game for the psp. :)

  • holy break

  • i really like this guys instruction but as a pitcher u want the exact same release and finish on every pitch. i notice major changes on his release point making him kinda predictable.

  • awesome movement

  • yankees rule
