Pitching is probably the most important position in the game. It takes practice and a good technique. Also, if u want to be a successful pitcher you will need to know how to throw certain pitches. The ones I will show you are a fastball, curveball, slider, split fingered fastball, knuckle ball, and a screwball.

		The fastball is a key pitch in the game. The ball is held with the thumb underneath the ball, the first two fingers on top of the ball, and the two fingers are held close together. You throw the ball at high speed in a straight line from the mound to home plate. This pitch can reach over 100mphs and is a deadly pitch if thrown right.
		The curveball I s a very tricky pitch and can throw a batter off guard. The grip is the same as the fastball, but the fingers are parallel to the seam. As soon as you throw it, twist your wrist and the ball will move from right to left (left to right for left handed pitcher) and dips down a little bit.
		A slider is a similar pitch to curveball, but instead of moving left to right it dips down to confuse the batter. The ball is gripped similar to the curveball, but tighter. The ball appears to be a fastball to the batter but it fades away, as well as dipping down at the plate at the last minute
	The split fingered fastball is a very useful pitch and is hard to distinguish it from a fastball. The pitch is similar to a fastball, but the two fingers on the top of the ball are spread more apart. When you throw it the ball travels in a straight line towards home plate, but dips sharply towards the end.
	The knuckle ball is held between the thumb and the first joints on two or three fingers. Because it is held like this the ball doesn’t spin in flight. You must throw it slow or it will ruin the pitch. The knuckle ball is hard to perfect, but is very effective.
	The screwball is the opposite of the curveball. The ball curves from left to right when delivered by a right handed pitcher. To deliver a screw ball a right handed pitcher will move so the palm of his hand is facing third base during delivery

In case you don’t know how to deliver the ball there is a picture of the correct technique of a pitchers winder up below.
