EP50 – How to Develop a Really Good Curveball

For young pitchers, the first pitch they learn is a curveball. But, developing a really good curveball is tough – it takes a strong understanding of the physics, the spin, the grip and hand action of the pitch. In this episode I explain dos and don’ts for the grip, action, spin, throwing routine, learning progression and more. Learning to throw a nasty curveball is hard work, and it takes a LOT of time – follow my lead to get it right.
