Lol, today my buddy who has also been looking to pitch was throwing with me, he has been working on a splitter/fork ball for a while know and he was throwing them extremely well today and I thought he was throwing knucklers.
So afterwards I was going to ask him about it because he won’t let me teach him the knuckleball but before I could say anything he asks “How were my splitters?” so I told him “HOLY HELL that was a splitter? I thought it was a knuckleball!”
I thought it was pretty hilarious, it doesn’t dance as much as mine but it still wiggles and drops like one. The drop on it was just sick.
His arsenal now is this:
- Fastball
- Change-Up
- Spuckler
He threw me some BP and he kept getting me to take cuts at them in the dirt and it really started to upset me. I screw him up with my knuckler so he got me back with the Spuckler.
