The Triple Pitch

[wprosser]

Anyone have experience with the "Triple Pitch"? Supposedly this pitch is between a change-up and drop-curve. I am not sure how you get enough spin on the ball at low speeds to make it drop and curve, so I am skeptical.

I bet our 10U class has a bunch of pitchers that can throw it!!

The Triple Pitch? I thought it was called the Ray-Ray.

My daughter is a 10u pitcher she is only working on her change and throwing fastball harder. I do get tired of hearing how stupid 10u parents are and apperantly
No worthy players or teams at this level I understand daddy ball happens and a lot if these girls won't be playing in a couple years and some say to many teams or watered down doesn't that giveore girls a chance to play isn't that good but there is also I'm noticing an elitist attitude with some of the 14u and above parents ok we get it your daughters were born before ours you've done this awhile and all your daughters
Are getting full rides. My daughter is 10u but she is still working hard and having lots of fun. Even though I thought it was an honest question a 14 u parent had to add they're two cent how a lot of tens probably do it I don't think so never heard of it except there is a video out but never heard what it's about we listen to her instructor not schemes on DVD

Kids are capable of anything, with enough encouragement...

Not sure what a Triple Pitch is, but here's a Triple Lindy:

The first thing I thought of when I read the post title was the "Triple Lindy", but there is a pitch that some call the "Triple Pitch". It was originally called the "Slow Ball". I havent seen it used in years because it's damn near possible to throw - certainly nothing that could be pulled off by a 10U pitcher.

Here is the only video I could find of it: http://youtu.be/RbognHlK0Ck?t=3m28s

For the OP, it sounds like an off speed curve ball. it drops because of umm... oh yeah... gravity.

as for getting a ball to curve at slower speeds, watch any kid warming up her spins and you'll see it's not very difficult.

Last time my kid asked if she could throw the triple pitch, her coach replied "I'd rather you walk her than give her a triple."
