Anyone know about good Underhand/submarine pitching style for baseball book?

Question

Tq for the help guys..
can u also please put up the author name

Answer 1

not too many pitchers use this style, so I doubt a book has been written about it

Answer 2

My advice - learn to throw three-quarter. The submarine motion is really tough on the arm, elbow and shoulder. It is not a natural delivery style, and you will never develop the velocity that you can achieve from a 3/4 delivery. Regardless of what happens on the baseball field, you have that arm with you the rest of your life.

Also, think about it: How many submarine-style STARTING pitchers have you seen?

Anyone who is learning to pitch should focus on being an effective STARTING pitcher, and the fall to reliever if it comes down to making the team or not. If you embrace the submarine style you are immediately relegated to the relief corp, and you are immediately making yourself less valuable than someone who ends up in the bullpen, but could start in a pinch.

Many coaches view the submarine style as more of a gimmick and don't place a lot of faith in it for starters.

Answer 3

I don't think you'll find a book devoted to that, I'd be very surprised if you did. There are lots of articles about it though and Steven Ellis has a blog in which he discusses the delivery a fair amount. I'd look for books on pitching and find one that has a section on the submarine style of pitching. I did run across the article below.

Edit to comment on the answer below. If submarine is the natural delivery style, do NOT work on changing it. The lack of velocity is a myth (see Walter Johnson), and I've heard accounts of coaches lamenting the fact that they forced an unnatural style on otherwise gifted pitchers. It IS true that coaches are wary of the style, and so you probably don't want to work to develop it unless that is the way that just feels natural for velocity etc

Answer 4

To be perfectly honest, I think your best bet concerning this topic is to hunt down a submarine pitcher and pick his brain/watch his technique for a while to get an idea regarding what you should be doing.
There is so much information you need to know about timing, angles, and strategy that to simply read the information out of a book would never truly be adequate, anyway. There are simply WAY TOO MANY VARIABLES! Besides, if there is a decent book on the topic, I have never seen it.
Best of luck!

Answer 5

rarely used now (plus hitters know this pitch and can feast on it) Dan Quizenberry may have written a book. Kent Tekulve is the only other submariner pitcher I can think of but then again because of KING MORON SELIG I do not follow ROIDBALL any more.

Answer 6

go to espn.go.com and look up a player name Chad Bradford. If you can find a video of him then there you go.
