what are the three best pitches to throw and what are the best websites to show you how?

Answer 1

The three best pitches are fastball, curveball, and slider. There aren't any websites that show you how.

Answer 2

The truth is you need a great dynamic of pitches. True a Fastball, changeup, slider is a good start. But you could replace any one of those pitches with any number of pitches. Fastball, Knuckle, Cutter. Fastball, Curve (of some kind), change up. The best "insert number here" just isn't a factor. Thats what makes good pitching, but not great pitchers. Mixing speeds and hitting your spots is the fundamental rule of pitching. There isn't much more basic than that. I've listed a few web pages that will get you started if indeed your just getting started.

What you need to do is start with information. Such as how to throw certain pitches, the grips, and what the desired affects are. After that, try them out, make adjustments and rule out the ones you can't throw as well till you get down to three or four. Thats your pitching dynamic. The best desired effects.

Nolan Ryan wasn't just great because of how fast he threw. Watch video of him pitching. He was erratic and threw darn near every place in and around the strike zone. He wasn't the best at control but his fastball had multi-directional break depending on what he did with it. He actually threw a sinker, slider, four seam (riding and three quarter "breaking away") fastball. With an outstanding power curve. That was his pitching dynamic.

Answer 3

The three best pitches to throw are a two-seam fastball, a straight changeup, and some sort of breaking ball (either a hard slider or 12-6 curveball). As you progress up to higher levels of baseball a changeup is probably the best pitch you can throw if you have command and the same armspeed as a fastball. I'm not sure of websites but it shouldn't be too hard to find.

Answer 4

Fastball, fastball and change-up. Websites cannot help you, son. You have to pick up a baseball, and throw it -- like kids have done for 150 years. Being comfortable with your throwing motion, and being able to locate where the ball will go.. is 95% of pitching. Inside, outside, up or down. Batters miss because they are unsure of what's coming - and where it's going to be, is much of that guesswork. If I'm hitting, and I know you may be throwing a fastball (which doesn't have to be 100mph, by the way!).. a low-outside pitch after a high, inside pitch or low-inside pitch will still get me off-balance. A change-up is basically the ball in the palm of your hands, instead of fingers on or across the seams. Take a baseball (or 10 of them) and throw it against a wall etc. -- you don't even need another person. Just don't be lazy.

Answer 5

Casapula has good thoughts. A two seam and four seam fastball with varying grip pressure on the ball will give them movement. The key is being able to command where you throw them and that just takes practice. Depending on your age, I don't recommend throwing a lot of breaking balls until your arm is developed more...maybe 17-18yrs. A good change up that you can throw for a strike and a good fastball with movement that you can "command" can make you a good pitcher. Mechanics and control are more important than having a wide variety of pitches and throwing sliders or curveballs at too young an age can damage your elbow joint as they put a lot of stress on it.

Answer 6

As a college hitter I would say that the fastball changeup and slider are the best just because they all look so similar to start off with

Answer 7

you only need 2 a fast ball and a curve ball just remember nolan ryan isnt famous for a change up or a knuckle ball or a slider just bring the heat and throw the 12/6 curve ball every now and again

Answer 8

fastball, curve, slider or changeup, master any two your doing great. three or more you will have a career.
the only way to learn them is to be shown to on a one on one basis by someone that can throw them.

Answer 9

Fast ball,change up,splitter.
