Why Doesn't Maddux Have 2 Seam?
-
This is why SDS needs to move beyond they 5 pitch repertoire. Someone posted it months ago about Yu Darvish who should be more effective than SDS allows him to be because he has numerous pitches the game doesn’t give him.
Maddux should have a sinker, two seem, running fastball, and 4seem fastball. Either way it shouldn’t nullify him from throwing change ups and curveballs. If a guy had 8 pitches give him 8 pitches. Call it the “bag of tricks” quirk and give them the arsenal they deserve.

@olivegarden2 “I throw a 2 seamer” he says lol. I’m willing to take a gamble on your two seamer and a professional baseball players two seamer are completely different. What you throw is a straight line fastball that spins like a two seamer but with no movement.
Mine does. It moves in towards righties and away from lefties. I may not be a professional but I'm still young. If you don't think I very good then that's your loss. I'm young and throw 60
Define young. At 11 years old I was throwing about 60. By 17-18 I was hitting low-mid 90’s. The norm now is for 10 year olds to throw 60’s and I’d tell your coach to get bent if he lets you throw 2 seamer/sinker at that age. Way to ruin your mechanics and arm.

How does it ruin my arm? I throw it like a regular fastball. I don’t flick my wrist or anything on any of my pitches

Lol at theses dudes messing with a young buck. major leaguers aren’t the only ones to have movement on their pitches. I’m an “old man” and I can throw a pitch that moves easy. The problem is mine never topped out over 85 and I wasn’t a PO, I mainly played 3rd and LF.... and trust me, the 1B knew my throws could possible move to the left. Keep working on the game young buck, gets some pitching coach ( or hitting) and hopefully you can get to the show, or at least the college level.
I’m in middle school and throw 60, I hope my arm doesn’t wear out! I could see myself throwing 90 if I’m careful!
Don’t let them throw you more than 80 pitches a week or 60 in a game.... seriously, that’s how you throw it out. There’s a video out by fox sports south ( the Braves channel) and it talks about the damage that can be done with over pitching
It’s called Driven: Youth Baseball and another called Driven: Dr Andrews. Dr Andrews is one of the best sports surgeons in America and talks about the effects and potential injuries of overpitching
I had to go see Dr Andrews almost 10 years ago after getting over pitched in a Cooperstown tournament. He definitely knows his stuff.
