I hate when coaches say one thing is important, than go on to explain something completely different. He goes on assuming that everyone knows ‘proper mechanics’that the magic is in the grip. I have yet to see ONE coach explain the proper mechanics from A-Z… including proper ARM ACTION!!!!! I think he did ride pine…..

guys if your lookin to throw a nasty slider, watching a youtube video isnt going to help. Makin your breaking pitch nasty is all about interpretting. In some cases if you dont even know the basics to gripping a slider, than yeah, you need to watch this, but if you want to make your slider truely nasty, you have to interpret, and mess around with variations of this grip, & slightly different throwing motions. Ur breaking ball and FB should have the same throwing motion, but u know what I mean

December 10th, 2009 at 12:01 pm

this guy’s better than the old guy.
at least this guys’ pitches dont look exactly the same as all the other ones
December 10th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
no
cause wen u throw a curve ball u flick ur wrist hard and with a slider u dont
like it has the same motion but wen u throw u dont think fast ball
