Yes

#6

my screwball usually lands on the right side of the strike zone is that where it is supposed to go for a RHP

You throw it but don’t know where it’s supposed to go??? One of the 14???

There are screwballs everywhere…just look around.

#8

i would expect it to hit the bottom right corner of the strike zone not the top, just curious

#9

Fairly rare but not completely unused.
