  • @Uci your right was the sense if you have nothing behind homeplate to see the cut of the ball before it reaches home plate!! The pitch is very similiar as a slider the grip slightly different. TAKE TWO MY FRIEND!!!

  • @cbboarder5 Aka a mortar

  • why would you throw this pitch with the camera facing you head on? we want to see the movement of the pitch with the camera behind you.

  • Hey guys, i throw a 230 MPH eephus... Is that good enough for you guys?

  • the first way is much easier to do. this is how mariano rivera throws it and i throw this and have had great success. Deilver like a natural 4 seam fstaball and grip like 4 seamer, off center, and more pressure on the middle finger.

  • HELP!! We in The Netherlands need help from across The Big Liquid. Baseball and

    softball are dying slowly in our country. Can anything be done? Free broadcasting of

    Major League games for instance? All we see here is soccer, soccer, and soccer.

    Really, we baseball fans need help over here.

  • Sick because i knew how the pitch moved right from that angle right?

  • @Flyinllamas mad respect yo.

  • @fujiboy15 true

  • @EXXC0MN

    that would explain his 7 ERA
