In today’s softball world, there are endless tools and gadgets to work on spin, but I always come back to one of the simplest: a line on the ball. I teach most pitches off the 4-seam, and that line gives pitchers instant feedback. Even if they can’t fully see the movement, they can see the spin—and that’s where it starts. One of my favorites? Using a skinny ball or a 14-inch ball with a line to really dial in tight, clean rotation. Want to take it a step further? Film in slow motion. Watching th

To throw a drop ball in softball, grip the ball with your fingers along the seams, typically using a four-seam or two-seam grip for better control and spin. Position your body with a strong, balanced stance, facing the target, with your weight slightly forward and hips tucked under the spine. As you begin your wind-up, keep your arm relaxed and your wrist loose. The key to the drop ball is the wrist snap and spin: at release, pull your fingers downward while snapping your wrist, imparting a tigh

We teach 4 seam grips all the time, but this part gets missed. I picked this up from Nick Sanzeri (who trains Major leaguers) and it made a lot of sense. 2 pitchers can use a 4 seam grip and still get completely different movement. A lot of that is how the horseshoe sits in your hand, finger pressure, and where your thumb lives. If your fastball feels different every time, it’s probably not your mechanics. It might be how you’re holding your 4 seam with the horseshoe facing a different way every

Which do you prefer and why?I’m a big believer in starting with a four-seam fastball, and here’s why!Four-Seam Fastball: This grip creates a straighter, more consistent spin. With its tighter topspin, the ball tends to stay on a straighter path, creating a “dropping” effect at higher speeds. Ever wonder why your four-seam drops? It’s because of the tight topspin rotation! This is why it’s also easier to learn a four-seam drop ball. 💪🏽Two-Seam Fastball: The looser spin of the two-seam causes mo
