What's the difference between a Fosh Change-Up and a Palm Ball, cause with a Fosh you are throwing the ball with your whole hand. So, by definition, what's the difference?
If you don't know what a Fosh Change-Up is or think that a Palm Ball is just grabbing it with your whole hand and throwing it, please don't answer. Looking for answers from pitchers or students of the game only.

A palm ball is a four-finder changeup. It's usually thrown from deeper in the palm, hence its name, and tends to break down.
A fosh change is a hybrid pitch that was originally based off the forkball (similar to a splitter, but held deeper in hand). It also breaks downwards, but also breaks back a bit, like a screwball.
In brief, a palm ball is thrown with all four fingers, while a fosh change is thrown more like a splitter. The result is a fosh change will break back some.

I believe the difference is in which "side" of the ball you grip.

Sorry, way over my head, I have no idea. I do admire your baseball pitch knowledge though...
