  • Question
    How do I pitch the ball overhand or sidearm?
    Community Answer
    If you want to do an overhead pitch, you'll want to release the ball over your head. If you want to do a sidearm pitch, you'll want to release the ball at the side of your body, at waist-level.

    Where do I pitch a 3/4 submarine from?
    Community Answer
    A 3/4 submarine is pitched from half way between your underhand and sidearm. Make sure you take time to practice that pitching style as it is difficult to perfect.
  • Question
    What do you mean "flick your wrist"? How do you do that?

    Move your wrist as though you're throwing a curve. You'll flick your wrist down.
  • Question
    What is throwing submarine/3 quarters submarine?

    Submarine is the same as underhand and 3/4 submarine is between an underhand and sidearm pitch.
  • Question
    How hard should I throw a curve ball?
    Community Answer
    Not too hard, as you want it to break before it gets to the batter. Like in MLB, curve balls are way slower than fast balls. Be sure to flick your wrist.

  • Question
    When I throw my screwball over the top, the ball doesn’t break to the left. What am I doing wrong?
    Community Answer
    Try throwing it in different pitching styles (overhand, submarine, sidearm, etc.). Try flicking your wrist when you throw.
  • Question
    Will a curveball go down?
    Community Answer
    Yes, unless you completely mess something up, the natural break should be downwards.
  • Question
    What is the difference between a wiffleball and baseball?

    Community Answer
    Wiffle balls are plastic, hollow balls you hit with plastic bats, and baseballs have a rubber core with a leather wrap stitched around them, and are hit with metal or wood bats.
  • Question
    Which hand do you throw the ball with, dominant or non-dominant?
    Heath Spires
    Community Answer
    You throw the ball with your dominant hand. Keep the other hand free for catching, and your dominant hand has more power, naturally. Try mixing it up and practicing with your non-dominant hand, so you can trick batter more often.
