Trust me we haven't mastered the whole I/R pitching yet but just wanted to ask about a change up for this type of pitching? Do you still throw change with I/R or deliver differently ?

Just a topic I was coureous about

It depends on what change you are throwing. To me the best change is the one that Rick Pauley advocates which is the shove change. In the case of the shove you are indeed limiting the internal rotation of the the humerus.

My daughter also throws a knuckle change but needs I/R to get the ball to home plate. Without I/R on the knuckle change she throws she would be consistently short. In the case of this pitch the brakes are applied via the grip (first two knuckles are on the ball).

The bottom line is that for the change you have to apply the breaks somewhere in the process.

I would assume the same goes for the palm change and the flip change but we discarded those years ago.

Hope that helps.

Well now I know why my DD's change hasn't been working. I'm still chuckling. Thanks Gunner for waking me up at work :)

I have edited the original post for the sake of the children that could be reading.

I have sat here and tried to think how I made that typo and sadly I have come to the conclusion I am just getting old. ;)
