  • So, in other words. This guy does know what he is talking about. Listen to your elders. We have been there before. If you are 11, you know nothing about baseball or life like you will in 10-20 years.

  • For the guy on the comment board that said you have to throw a curve over the top. Buddy you throw all pitches in the same arm slot. The only thing that chances is your hand position. I thought that when I was young, but as you get older you learn it is about grip and arm position. I played college and made it to AA minor league ball until I tore my rotator cuff and went from about 95-96 mph to 84-85 with pain. So trust me, the older you get you will realize same arm slot, change hand position.

  • @dduble07 thats bull

  • o could u just pitch the ball alredy !!

  • wow now i can throw 60 and there is no way tht anyone at age 11 can throw 81

    P.S. ur probly some kid lookin up this vid cuz u never played baseball in ur life and u suck

  • Yeah right!

  • well im an over the top pitcher and i can throw about 54 and im 11

  • all you people that want to learn pitches are useless you have to learn arm slots first over the top your sliders not very good cause you throw straight down so tjandjrod your not wrong you can throw it it will just not have much brake and result in a normal single by the batter LEARN BASEBALL BEFORE YOU COMMENT
