12-6 curveball? I don't think that pitch exists.
-
As a pitcher I can say there is a 12-6 curve. And a sweeping curve. It’s all the twist of the wrist on release. 12-6 you snap your hand towards the batter. Sweeping curve is more of a spin like 2-7 on a clock.

So then people are throwing 11-5 and 1-7 Curves?
Why is a Curve called 'Uncle Charlie?' -
12-6 is really only thrown by guys who have a high arm slot. Guys who come over the top and are able to snap down. The guys who have the 3/4 delivery throw across their body and the ball has a slurve feel to it.

I threw a 1-7 curve, but I was in the eastern time zone so it was 12-6 for a lot of America

Why is a Curve called 'Uncle Charlie?'The exact origin is not known, but it referes to someone having a very good curve ball.
For someone with a dominant curve ball, they coined the term Lord Charles. I believe Dwight Gooden was the first to have his curveball called a Lord Charles, but I may be mistaken.

So you threw a Curve Ball in the east, a 12-6 in central and a screwball in the west?

Bronson Arroyo had a nice 12-6

Dwight Gooden was a beast. I was hoping he would get a card tbh.

I think in the West it’s called a slider 3-9, instead of sticky stuff they use Avocado and in mountain time more of a slurve 2-8 they use Rocky Mountain oyster juice.

I think the best 12-6 of all time was Sandy Koufax.
Damned thing just did a dive bomb.

I remember the snap hook Wainwright buckled Beltran with to close out the NLCS in ‘06…pure filth
