Triple Pitch

[Larrry D]

I saw an add for a video tape promoting a new pitch called the triple pitch tonight. Promoted by Jerry Johnson

I saw short video clip and looks like a drop/curve. I cannot believe there is anything new these days besides marketing hype. Any thoughts.

In other words: An off-speed drop curve.

I believe Ernie Parker has an entire DVD on that pitch... like sluggers said, off speed drop curve!

No, uh, it's a triple pitch. Duh!

What would you call that? An offspedurve

I'd call it a herpderp.

I think if I remember correctly you tuck one or two knuckles and throw it like a fast ball or drop curve. Taking the strong index and middle fingers off the ball allow you to take a full wind up and motion and have full arm speed and have a nice off speed pitch with a drop curve spin. That is what I think he does or what I heard from someone. I forgot about this pitch. Fooled around with it a few years ago with my middle daughter.

Drurveoff. It has Russian origins... Not to be confused with the Polish variant... the Drurveoffsky...

DD best pitch. Throws it instead of traditional CU.
