Key Tips and Tricks:
-If you struggle to produce topspin on your fastball, try to overemphasize feeling your index and middle finger roll off the ball first.
-Pitchers normally generate bullet spin if their pinky leads at release.
Check out your grip.
On a normal four-seam fastball grip, fingers are placed on the seams with the thumb on the opposite side of the ball.
-I have had success throwing the drop ball with my thumb placed on the side of the ball instead of underneath. This allows for more wrist dexterity.
-Stay long and loose on your finish.
-The throwing shoulder should internally rotate to slow the arm down after release. You don't want to fight against that by pulling up on the ball.
