I think the changeup has become more popular recently by pitchers like Pedro Martinez and the success he had with it.
Back in the day when I played, a pitcher had 3 pitches: a fastball, a curveball, a slider, a changeup and a good sinker pitch.
A good changeup is what I need to get to the next level.
I have to go with the approach I had in Triple-A. I need to take a lot of those fastballs I am seeing to left field. Also must gear up for the changeup and take them up the middle.
My changeup looks like a fastball, but one goes straight and the other goes away from the righthanded hitter. Sometimes it cuts by itself, and I don't know where it's going.
I've been fortunate with the changeup. I've been able to throw it for strikes.
Got any pitches? I got five pitches-rise-ball, curveball, screwball, drop-ball and changeup.
