During baseball tryouts a few years ago I was told by a coach that I as a pitcher had to give signs to the catcher indicating what pitch was coming. In my 13 years I never learned these signals and have wondered what they are ever since. All I know is they are various motions with the glove. What are these conventional signals?

>Rolling your glove over toward the catcher is a curve ball
>If you have a knuckball or another pitch, make up a movement. The catcher will probably ask what it is, then you tell him
>Normally there are just the 3 though...Fastball, Changeup, Curveball

Aflip towards yourself is a fastball, fliping down or rolling your glove is a curve, pushing the glove towards the catcher is a changeup, sliding the glove acrose your body is a slider and any other pitch you talk with your catcher about
