The Sinker
Level of Difficulty 5
The sinker is the most difficult pitch to throw and is feared by every hitter.
Holes up with this pitch and place the index finger on the seem of the ball.
The middle finger is spread two inches from the index finger, like making the
peace sign. The thumb is on the seem of the ball and the ring finger and the
pinky finger are together and touching the solid part of the ball. This pitch
is thrown SIDE ARM or Three-Quarters. This pitch sinks hard on both right and
left handed batters. The grip is the same for right handed and left handed pitchers.
This pitch is thrown just like the screwball, but it is thrown side arm to three-quarters.
This makes the sinker almost impossible to master, few Pro pitchers have this
pitch in their arsenal. This pitch is very hard on a pitcher’s arm and is NOT recommended for younger pitchers to throw. A loose grip is recommended and is the most effective.
