Spread your index, middle, and ring fingers to their widest point. Under the ball your thumb and pinky should both touch the ball. Remember, your palm should touch the ball. When throwing, keep your wrist stiff and bring it straight down like you would if you were chopping something. Throw the ball straight for the middle of the plate.

Change-ups like the three fingered change-up and the circle change-up make your fastball seem faster in comparison.

Hold the ball like a three fingered change-up, but join your index finger and your thumb. Throw this the same way as the three fingered change-up, too. Keep your wrist stiff and bring it straight down like you would if you were chopping something. Throw the ball straight for the middle of the plate.
