Please Note. This site is being moved to www.iw.net/~blubaugh/index.html The other page is going to be done in about 3 weeks.
Here I will tell you how to throw different pitches in baseball including the curveball to a screwball and how to grip the ball. 
the fastball: it is the basic pitch of baseball. it is the the first pitch learned and should be used more than any other pitch. The grip for the four seam fastball is you grip the ball with the index and middle finger across the widest part of the baseball. your end joints should be over the seam to ensure a good grip
The next pitch that I'm going to show you is the 2 seamed fastball which has some movement on it. to grip the 2 seamed fastball place your index and middle fingers on the narrowest seams and throw it. it is really simple. to add movement try different pressures with your fingers.
grips for the four seam fastball
the four seam fastball is a pitch that when thrown right does not move but goes straight where you want to. to grip the four seam fastball but your index and middle finger across the two widest seams about a half an inch apart
THE CURVEBALL GRIP
FOR THE CURVEBALL GRIP THE BALL WITH YOUR MIDDLE AND INDEX FINGER ACROSS THE WIDEST PART. HOLD IT FARTHER BACK THAN THE FASTBALL BUT DONT LET IT TOUCH YOUR PALM. EXPERIMENT FINGER PRESSURE WITH YOUR INDEX AND MIDDLE FINGER. YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR PALM AS IT PASSES BY YOUR HAND. BEFORE YOU RELEASE IT YOU SHOULD TWIST YOUR HAND INWARD
THE SLIDER
THE SLIDER CAN HURT YOUR YOUR ARM IF IT IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH OR YOUR WRIST IF YOUR WRIST IS STIFF YOU CAN HURT YOUR ARM
GRIPS FOR THE SLIDER
GRIP THE SLIDER WITH YOUR INDEX AND MIDDLE FINGER ACROSS THE WIDEST SEAMS. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF-CENTER TOWARD THE OUTSIDE OF THE BALL. TRY DIFFERENT PRESSURES WITH YOUR FINGERS. DONT TWIST YOUR HAND IT WONT HELP THE SPIN. INSTEAD THROW IT LIKE A FASTBALL.
SPLIT FINGER FASTBALL GRIP
SPLIT YOUR MIDDLE AND INDEX FINGERS AND GRIP THE BALL ALONG THE SEAMS. YOUR MOTION SHOULD BE THE SAME AS THE FASTBALL
