13 year old pitcher?What other pitches should i be throwing?

Question

all i've been throwing latly is fastballs

4 seamer

2seamer

im trying throw a curve ,but im told not to

Answer 1

try a circle change

Answer 2

Like everyone else said, you should learn how to throw a changeup along with the 2 seamer and 4 seamer you already have.  But, I would also recommend throwing a cutter.  Throwing a cutter requires no twist in the arm, its just in the pressure of the fingers and you throw it like a fastball.  Good luck man.

Answer 3

Ask Buzz Jockington.

He specializes in this type of repetitious braggadocio type of question.

If you don't know braggadocio, I would not be surprised.

What did you do while in English classes?

Answer 4

Don't throw anything that requires you to twist your arm, such as a curveball or a slider. You can really mess up your elbow because it's still growing and forming, and you can pay for it later. Stick with fastballs (2 seam or 4 seam) and practice your changeup. At your age, simply being to change speeds at all (i.e. fastball vs changeup) will be very effective.

Answer 5

If you start trying to throw different things now you will mess up your arm and will have to quit pitching.

Answer 6

Changeup. Nothing more than a 4-seamer, a changeup, and that Sinker(2-seamer) will do I guess. Focus completely on control. No curveballs right now. You'll wreck your arm.

LOL oops. I don't even look at people's name when they ask.

Answer 7

HAHAHAHA

Answer 8

do NOT throw a curve or slider. 4-seam, 2-seam, and changeup is all you should throw. A knuckle ball would be alright too.

Answer 9

A CHANGEUP?
