Jordy Bahl Change up

What kind of change up is this she throws. Anyone else have a better video or can slow it down even more and zoom in so you can see it better.

Looks like a flip changeup to me.

Flip?

Slowing it down, it looks like she's using a similar motion to a drop, but instead of rolling it in a 12-6 motion, it has more of a 4-10 spin.

The quality is only 360P, so it's not that clear when you slow it down.

I recently watched someone else talk about how they throw their change-up out of the side of their hand. It comes out of the pinkie side of the hand for a RH pitcher. She felt it allowed the arm to move in a direction that would better mask the change.
That looks like she may be doing something similar.

I don’t think it is a traditional flip. To me it looks like she kind of a flip arm action and throwing it out of the side of the hand like pushing it out with the thumb so to speak.

To me that is kind of what it looks like also.

I’m in the “definitely not a flip” crowd. Maybe call it a backhanded change? It does seem to come off the side of her hand.

The hand action is similar to a palm down curve, it has side spin and might actually break a little. The fingers point down and come around the outside of the ball, the pinky is the last contact point. It's analogous to the circle change in baseball. The pitcher has to make sure that she's on top of ball late in the downswing to take the IR out of the motion and reduce the velocity.

Looks like the Rick Pauly change to me. I'm not sure it has another name, that's just what it has been called on this board for a long time. Java also teaches it. Definitely isn't a traditional flip.
