Run-In?

[softballmom77]

Has anyone ever heard of a "run-in" pitch?

Can you tell me about it?

DD has been learning that pitch and also with a knuckle "slower velocity" version.

Can you describe it? And the wind up.

My DD has a screwball "tail" on her FB that causes it to "run in" on right handed batters...is that what you are referring to?

 

[softballmom77]

It's like a "screwball"...exactly what JAD described. (Thanks JAD)

I hadn't heard that name used before that's why I was asking.


There is also a "run-out" which I assume would be the "curve" version??? She hasn't got to that yet!


Thanks everyone...still learining the lingo and what works for my kiddo.

I have never heard of a pitch specifically called a "run in" or "run out". DD's screwball runs up and into a batters hands and her curve runs out away from the batters hands. She also throws a "knuckle ball" change up.

I was asking because of a particular wind up and motions that look to the batter like you are 'running in' towards them. Two steps to that one.
