FFS,
Can you do the same for the pitch that starts around the 20 second mark?

Thanks,
Ken

His is a drop ball inside. No men's pitcher throws a screwball because it doesn't exist.

Could you elaborate? are you saying that there is no such thing as screwball action at all and they are just thrown as outside in fastballs?

Have fun Squeeze!

Pretty sure none exist. My own daughter keeps getting accolades for her screwball, and I just nod and smile. Smoke and mirrors.

Given the camera is on the right side and not in-line with catcher and pitcher, I don't think there is any evidence here of a breaking pitch. That doesn't mean there isn't. I just don't think this clip proves it.
