Backhand or Flip Change-up |
|
|
There are many ways to throw a change-up but the backhand or flip keeps the same arm speed and stride as the fastball which helps keep the batter from realizing a slower pitch is being thrown. The change-up is the off-speed pitch that is thrown at about 75% of the fastball speed.
The grip used for the backhand or flip change-up is either the fastball grip or the grip of the best pitch you use. If you throw a riseball most, use the rise ball grip. The batter may see the grip and think a rise ball going to be thrown.
