Pitch Movement.

[Inge15]

Now, I am not completely sure if this type of thread has already been made, but I was really wondering if anyone knew how to get extra or additional movement to certain pitches.

For me, my curveball is pretty big, not very sharp but big, but my fastball is pretty straight. I am planning on playing baseball next year for my school, because I really haven't done so yet. I have just played in little games and stuff. Any ideas for getting more movement?

Movement is usually generated by how fast your bring your arm through (on curve for example) and finger pressure is another way you can get movement without changing mechanics. The less favorable way would be to change your arm slot a little and that can create some movement. There was a guy at Florida (not sure if hes still there) but threw like low/mid 90's but it was real straight so they switched him to side arm and threw about 85 or 86 and had some pretty nasty movement.

Thanks.
When throw my curve I can get the best break from a side arm angle or even from down under, I do it the way Jose Contreras throws from both a normal stretch and from down under at times.
