@skujjj: Thumb Tuck Fastball Tucking the thumb is a way to get your thumb out of the equation when throwing the ball. So at release, your only contact to the ball is your 2 fingers ripping down on the seams and creating pure backspin. I will say, this is more of a pitch than a catch play tool. It has to be thrown hard, similar to how you can’t always throw offspeed pitches lightly, the thumb tuck needs to be thrown in a bullpen or game setting to get the full effect. After a short adjustment period, this is how I throw all of my hardest pitches, long toss, and pulldowns. But it may not be for everybody. Hand size and thumb mobility play a major role in the ability to throw this pitch. However I’ve show some friends who are still not able to get a good feel for it even though they have gigantic hands. Give it a try, because it may just change your entire pitching career. #Baseball #Pitcher #Pitching #ThunmbTuck #Fastball

As a former catcher, that is definitely one of the most horrifying things a pitcher can tell you, especially in a game
