I’ve seen true screwball spin.
One was a lefty who’s top speed was 53. She was a good pitcher, played D1. Her shoulder/arm was permanently messed up. She said and I quote, it’s easier on the arm/shoulder if you can just rear back and let it fly.
Another time was with my niece. She was trying to throw a rise and she was throwing perfect screwball spin at a John Gay clinic. She was throwing perfect screwballs. The story ends there, just one of those things where you throw a perfect spin for a day.
The 3rd one I saw was a D1 freshman, I can’t remember the team. It was in a UW classic in Seattle. I was directly behind the plate. I think it was kind of a one trick pony. The only thing she could throw.
None of them did the exaggerated step to the side and throw inside. They all had true spin break.
