General Pitching Topics
#1

i just got onto my first team in organised baseball. its just a starter team [down here you have to start out down there then be called up to higher levels]

i havent had any coaching… i throw a:

4 Seam FB

Palmball

Forkball

Curve/Slurve

i went to see them play today and they are REALLY horrible. they are swinging at fastballs coming for their head. only pitch i saw was a fastball. should i mix in all 4 of my pitches or just stick with a fastball and occasionally mix in the palm?

if they’re horrible, what do you need 4 pitches for? i doubt you have great control of any of them if you havent even played organized ball before. stick with a fastball and change up or a fastball and curveball. keep it simple, work hard and you WILL be called up.
