The Curve
Level of Difficulty 2
The curve ball is the bread and butter pitch for most pitchers. Holes out for
right handed pitchers. The middle finger should be placed to the left of the
holes where the seem of the ball is. The index finger is spread two inches from
the middle finger, like making the peace sign. The thumb is place on the bottom
of the ball along the seem and should be placed in the middle of the two fingers.
The ring finger and the pinky finger are together and against the center of the
ball, where the trademark and patent number are. Again a loose grip is very effective.
An over hand motion has the biggest curve and can be thrown accurate with some
practice. This pitch breaks from right to left on right handed batters (it actually
starts behind them). When thrown properly, expect a three to four foot break.
Left handed pitchers grip the ball the opposite of above.
