Whats the difference between a regular change-up and a circle change?

Answer 1

There are several types of changeup, which are generated by using different grips on the ball during the pitch.

The most common type is the straight change. The ball is held with three fingers (instead of the usual two) and closer to the palm, to kill some of the speed generated by the wrist and fingers. This pitch generally breaks downward slightly, though its motion does not differ greatly from a two-seam fastball.

Another common grip is the circle changeup. The pitcher forms a circle with his index finger and thumb, using these two fingers to grip the seams of the baseball. This pitch tends to break slightly in the same direction as a screwball.

Another, less common, grip is known as the Vulcan change, where the pitcher wedges the ball between his middle finger and ring finger. Its name derives from the grip looking similar to the "Live long and prosper" hand gesture used by Vulcans, a fictional extra-terrestrial race depicted on the television series Star Trek. This pitch's break resembles a forkball, going straight downward

Answer 2

Circle Change

Answer 3

im a pitcher for senior leagues and to tell you the truth a change up and a circle change are 2 completely different thing. regular change up is a braking pitch that goes slow and it usually goes up about half way and it drops. and a circle change its like a curve ball with a change it does the same rotation as the change but it sneks in on you last second to the inside and a circle change has ALOT more movement

Answer 5

Your grip and the rotation of the ball.

Answer 6
