Some coaches say that you’ll never throw a curve in college Because it breaks on the same plane as the bat path so it’s easier to hit I disagree It might break on the same path, but if you get really good tight spin it can also create a lot of foul balls and K’s Not to mention, if you’re able to throw it for a strike, or more off the plate as a chase pitch, and even better, if you can throw it as a backdoor curve, a drop curve or a curve rise, it can be one of the most effective pitches you can

The drop curve is emerging as one of my favorite pitches! Not only that but this pitch is really easy to learn if you already know a drop and a curve Here’s why I love it: 1️⃣ it’s a 2 plane pitch. So it moves in 2 directions instead of 1, meaning a batter is going to have to be ready to adjust to horizontal and downward movement which is hard to do 2️⃣ it’s my favorite pitch to throw to slappers! Everyone loves to throw screwballs all day to slappers but to me, a good drop curve is impossible f

✨How to throw drop curves✨ Once your pitcher has gotten a good hold of a curve (and maybe a drop) it’s really quite easy to add in a drop curve!! And the drop curve is one of my favorite pitches (especially when thrown to slappers) To throw a drop curve, your body mechanics are actually identical to a regular curve! We stay tall and stacked, we get a decent cross over step, we want to make sure we don’t over rotate the shoulders. The arm MUST stay tight to the body There are 2 major differences

🥎turn your curve into a strikeout machine🥎 If you are a curve dominant pitcher there are SO MANY THINGS you can do with it that give you the advantage over the batter One of the most annoying things batters will do when they recognize a curve ball pitcher is they’ll move up in the box This allows them to catch the ball before it breaks too much. They just stick their bats out and get one of those super annoying bloop hits that lands between the infielder and outfielder But you can outsmart the

Throw your pitch where it was designed to break 👌 that’s it. . If your curve has an overwhelming amount of topspin and you’re trying to make it jump more outside - that’s not what it’s meant to do. That type of curve for softball pitchers is meant to BREAK down ⬇️ if you throw this more down and out you will see the magic happen 🙌 . Understanding what type of spin you are throwing is the first part of making the most of it 😉 . Once you know what you’re throwing it’s up to YOU to decide to kee

Drop curves are one of my absolute favorite pitches and they are so under utilized! This pitch has 2 planes of movement and is so great to throw to both righties and lefties but especially slappers It’s especially good when you have insane movement on it like @andyhegarty_2025 And it’s super easy to add in once you know a drop and a curve Learn this pitch with me today on the fastpitch power app! . . . . #fastpitchpower #fastpitch #softball #softballpitching #forearmfire #whip #onlinetraining #p
