I looked at this video 15min before my warm up to try to learn a change up real quick and managed to have guys rolling on top of the ball all game.

[@DutchVanDerLinde-sx1ox]

That's pretty cool. Learn a pitch just before game time and it absolutely dominates

[@VegasGuy1975]

Thank you for the lesson. Only wish I have is that the video would show it being thrown. But overall a great lesson!

I was coming up with random grips and this behaves the same as one as mine

[@routineharpy5259]

It's all about comfort id rather have a weird comfortable grip thats consistent than a traditional grip that feels wrong and inconsistent

[@giantsfan1014]

Thanks this is going to help me very much bro

[@DanBlewett]

No problem 👍

Thanks

That an interesting way to throw a changeup

[@kenotbgood1968]

When I was in Jr. High school or middle school, I learned how to throw a knuckle curve ball, it was a change up, that curved, to a right hand batter, it comes in high and inside then curves very hard going down and outside.

[@jaykaufman6339]

Just a slower flatter fastball when I have tried this grip. any suggestions.

[@DanBlewett]

work harder at it and keep throwing it and be patient. Takes time and watch my full video about it on my channel.

@@papas_ashif you really wanted to learn, you would go find it….

[@RichandBritwist-jh7wc]

Best way bar none to get a great feel for the Chang and get crazy arm speed is to play long toss with it

[@ianruiz4431]

I go like this 👌

[@ClawHeHeNum]

I find the knuckle balls harder to pitch cause they fly all over cause theirs no spin

[@verity_optional]

I was throwing like this but also holding it like a circle change and when I throw it like wobbles and then drops (I’m a lefty)

[@wendycoffey8283]

does this grip work for low slot guys? i'm trying to get a lot of depth on a change.

[@johnnystrait9988]

It does, but way better for over the top and finish way out front(as all pitches should be.)

[@masonmacgarvey2133]

i tried it the same way in a game they hit so far is was like a fastball i neeed help inproving

[@jester_killzem3005]

It seems to mimic Pedro’s circle change for me, idk if that’s good or bad…But then again he had one of the best changeups in MLB history 🤔 help plz

[@Raptor-rc5pz]

I actually love this grip and I release it like a cutter so it has big drop and cuts to

[@DanBlewett]

...then you're actually throwing it incorrectly. it should not cut

[@nick-uv9wd]

Changeup shouldn’t cut😂

[@shierawesome]

@@nick-uv9wd ofc it can. There's no specific movement to a changeup other than it going down

[@Preez_Gsus]

what about the index and ring finger? du you keep them off the ball or do you position them on each side of the ball?

@@DanBlewett nice, thank you :)

[@manny7398]

Why cant i get movement on changeups

[@DanBlewett]

probably the position of the moon isnt right

[@Number2_Kghimothyhater]

Does this work for submarine pitchers as myself?

[@DanBlewett]

yes

[@VERIGUETTE]

The best changeup is PEDRO MARTINEZ 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

[@gradyjones7017]

There’s no “best” grip for anything, it’s just what works the best for you

[@DanBlewett]

best = produces the best outcome for the most people

[@imaxdigital7052]

This makes no sense to me. Why would this sink?

[@RMgolf]

To help with people who have tried this grip and it’s done nothing to improve movement or even build on their previous change up, movement depends on multiple different factors. Spin angle, RPMs, and release distance. Spin angle needs to be somewhere from 2-8 to 3-9 o’clock which is a sinker spin. RPMs can be higher at the 2-8, 3-9 o’clock angle but if the change up is closer to 1-7 or 12-6 on the clock face you need less revs to create movement (like a splitter).
Release distance is important because the further the release towards the plate the more into pronation the arm path gets which is good for change ups, if the release is further back then fastball then you will naturally be closer to directly behind the ball at release or even in supination which all indicates you either need to find a way to hold onto the ball longer or splitter with less revs at release is in your future. Most of these adjustments need high tech equipment to figure out so find a facility near you to get the data required to find out why you’re change up isn’t cooperating.

[@Valor6867]

Hey i just started pitching and the other team thought i was throwing a changeup when i was really throwing a 4seam fastball. Is that normal💀

[@DanBlewett]

i mean, if you throw slow i guess?

[@Valor6867]

@@DanBlewett i throw around 60 and im 13, so maybe im moving my arm too much

[@romeosantos8702]

is that a palmball?
