One of my old teamates uses the slurve nd i have used it in the past. If your starting use the 4-seam 1 its a lot easier to control. 1st u out ur middle finger on 1 side of the ball nd the thumb on the other side of the call (of course both r touchin both seams) the u put ur pointer finger on the top of the ball nd have ur other 2 finger rest nd throw it. the 4-seam is faster nd less slurvy than the 2-seam. the 2-seam is most affective but u really have 2 pracitce. i believe u take the middle nd the thumb on 1 seam each nd put the pointer on top of the ball but iv never seen the 2-seam but i can imagine that it is a wicked pitch. i never used the slurve in a game i jus used my fastball, change up, curve nd slider\nthe slider can be thrown many way. i like to have the middle on 1 side of the seam nd the pointer on the otehr side of the seam nd my thumb on top nd watch it go. try not to touch the seam.

hold the ball so that the seam looks like a "U", place your index finger and middle finger on or on the outside of the seam. the bottom of the "U" should be between your knuckles. now throw a fastball, but let the ball slide out of your hand, less snap on the wrist. but just a little. the result is the equivalent of a slider but the ball has a more straight downward movement. \nanother grip is just the reverse, flip the "U" up-side down and place your finger tips on the outside of the widest part of the seam.

Changeup and Curveball are the two best.\nIf you can get a slider, you'll be in good position too.\n\nHere's how you throw a curveball.\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_1831_throw-curveball-baseball.html

it would take amazingly long time to type up how to play baseball. ill give a short explanation. there is 4 bases in a diamond shape, then an outfield. a pitcher throws the ball trying to get it past the batter and over the home plate (a base) for a strike. 3 strikes and your out. \nthere are 3 outs in one inning. you play nine innings. if you hit the ball, you run up the dirt ob the right to first base. if the ball is cought while the first baseman touches the bag, your out. if you see that you could maybe get to 2nd base, turn and run there. you score by going all the way around the bases and touching home plate. oh, and if you hit a ball over the fence in between the to polls in left and right field, its a home run

The first step is to establish a proper grip, putting two fingers (index and middle) around a seam of a baseball. Then pull back behind your head and during the act of throwing pull down on the ball to produce the rotation, releasing the ball at the proper point.\n(the two links are alternate grips for a curveball)\nhttp://www.hellbored.com/uploader/uploads3/DSCN1761.JPG\nhttp://www.hellbored.com/uploader/uploads3/DSCN1762.JPG

As a coach I teach my kids to:\n1. grip the ball across all four laces.  \n2. Plant your throwing foot, step towards your target with your glove hand.\n3. Reach back with your throwing hand(stretching your arm all the way out) Keep your throwing elbow up\n4. Pull your body through with your glove hand, throwing the ball with your arm in an overhand motion(try not to drop down sidearm)\n5. Follow through, snapping your wrist at the end to give the ball a bit of backspin so that it will stay in the air a bit longer.\n\nRelease point will have to be adjusted according to who you are playing with(their height) \n\nPractice, practice, practice and have fun!...use a tennis ball(or a spongey baseball) and a brick wall.\n\nGood Luck!!

4-3 Free Fire\nif on PS2....\nL1 up or down..(Depending on if you think run or pass), R1 up, Triangle right, Triangle down, then R1 up or down on the right joystick (Depending on if you think run or pass)....Control your MLB....If it looks like a run flick down on the Right joystick to commit to run...if it turns out to be a play action run your MLB in the area you think the QB will pass too....works all day against computer....against friends I usually mix it up with some good zone plays using the same button combos.

a real easy way to alter a pitch is to remove some (or most) of your fingers from the ball when you throw it. Your arm speed will make it look like a fastball but because the ball is in your palm (rather than being gripped tightly by your fingers), it will go slowly.

Practice throwing shorter distances first and make sure you're throwing it straight.  If you do it correctly, it usually has an "S" flight trajectory.  If you're right handed, it starts of to the right and then comes back left.  Make sure you're throwing straight and then start throwing harder and harder.  Once you can stand there and throw it pretty hard (and straight), then start getting a one step start and use your body along w/ your arm.  Once you master that, Get a running start and put your body into it.  The main thing is making sure that you throw it straight.  You're maximum distance will come on a straight throw.

There are 2 curves involved with a thrown ball.\nGravity causes one and air pressure causes the other.\nThe force of gravity will accelerate the ball toward the ground and create a parabolic curve.\nA ball that has no spin, like a pitcher's knuckleball will curve unpredictably.  One that does has spin will curve in a direction that is tangential to the axis of rotation.  Topspin on a tennisball or pingpong ball will cause it to drop sharply, whereas with backspin the ball will almost float to the back line. In those examples the axis of rotation is parallel to the ground.  With a pitcher's curveball, the axis of rotation is nearly vertical and the curve will be to the left or right depending on which direction the ball spons.  This curve is caused by the air's interaction with the spinning ball.

Fastball, change-up, and sinker. Wait until you are older to throw breaking pitches. Also, try a knuckleball every once in a while, but don't throw them as a main pitch.

My favorite is an overhand sinker. Hold the ball with your pointer and middle finger on the top and your thumb on the bottom and the slots facing your palm. Throw the ball over hand with kind of a football throwing motion bring your two finger snapping over the top. The ball goes much faster than a curve or slider and has a sharp, late drop that fools most hitters. Best when thrown in on the hands. \n\nI also like the sidearm riser. Hold the ball like you would for a curve. Throw the ball with a big, sweeping submarine motion and the ball will rise and break across the plate.

I always put my index and middle fingers together and wrap my thumb around the bottom of the ball with the other fingers bent. then you let it slide off the fingertips as you release. WiCkeD PiTcH!!\n\nI think some spread the fingers but I get more speed and control when together.

Get one of those pitchback net things and practice throwing inside the square and work on your control first and then you can add some speed.

Here you go, just follow these simple steps.\n\n1.Hide the ball in your glove.\n \n2.Grip the ball with your middle and index fingers perpendicular to the seams at their widest point, with your thumb underneath the ball.\n \n3. Spread your top fingers apart slightly and keep your ring finger and pinkie tucked into your palm. \n \n4. Hold the ball firmly, applying pressure with your middle finger and thumb. Try not to let the ball rest in the palm of your hand, and keep your index finger relaxed. \n \n5.Wind up into the pitch. Use the same pitching motion as in your other pitches so that the batter cannot predict a curveball. \n \n6.Keep your wrist relaxed. After drawing back the pitch, hold your wrist so that the back of your hand points toward your body. \n \n7.Roll your wrist downward and to the right (if you are right-handed) or to the left (if you're left-handed) immediately before releasing the pitch. \n \n8.Release the pitch and follow through by bending your wrist. A right-hander should finish with the palm facing in toward the chest. The top of your thumb should be facing up.\n \n9.Throw the ball between the batter and home plate if you're a left-handed pitcher facing a left-handed batter or if you're a right-handed pitcher facing a right-handed batter.\n \n \n\n \n \nTips:\nYou can also try gripping the ball between and along the seams. Spread your fingers apart slightly and press your middle finger into the ball. Go with the grip that allows you a comfortable release, the proper spin and maximum control.\n \nTurn your wrist further to increase the ball's spin. You will lose some control but will gain more curve. Throw harder, and the pitch gains speed but loses some of the curving movement.\n \n \nWarnings:\nThrowing a curveball can cause serious and possibly permanent damage to your shoulder, elbow and wrist. For this reason, most managers and coaches advise that young players avoid this pitch until they reach physical maturity.
