I’ve got to show my ignorance here. I know what a screwball is in baseball, but never thought about one in SB.
In general, a BB pitcher throws the screwball overhand, putting rotation on the ball that makes it move toward the pitching hand side. IOW, a RHP pitching to a RHB will see the ball move toward the batter. But doing the same thing underhand would make the ball move away from the batter because the rotation would be opposite.
So how does a SB pitcher throw a screwball, and which way does it move?
Thanx.
