i don't see what the point of having a "correct" way on grabbing the softball when you're fielding you're not going to be able to fix the ball.. just saying.

The 4 seam throw would produce a backwards spinning motion causing uplift creating a straighter throw, meaning it's less prone to drop. A 12-6 curveball uses a 12-6 spin (hence the name '12-6 curveball'), which requires the thrower to snap their wrist downwards just prior to releasing the ball. The girl's snapping technique in this video (as she's down on one knee) will produce a backwards spin which is what you want, especially if you are throwing from the outfield to your cutoff or home.

@kkpres it could depend on wether you're throwing from an infield position or an outfield position. infielders tend to throw from the shoulder for quicker timing but outfielders tend to throw like this showed. at least thats how my coaches have coached my team.
