Talk:Pitch (baseball)

message: It strikes me that it would be useful to have pictures of how all these pitches are held. Is anyone able to take pictures of themselves doing this before I search for pictures of questionable copyright? (It might also be useful to diagram how these pitches move through the strike zone, but probably not.)  —  Adam Conover † 03:21, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
:There are pictures of some of the pitches in the actual pitches lists.  Not all of them have images, but some of them do.  They are images showing the grip, but these are very helpful.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Wellsjc (talk • contribs) 05:12, 26 August 2004
:Diagrams showing the ball rotation from the pitcher's point of vue would be also very useful; most breaking balls use rotation to achieve their breakinness—Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.92.156.185 (talk • contribs) 03:37, 8 September 2005
:It's a good suggestion but different pitchers throw the same pitch using different grips. Depending on the size and shape of a pitcher's hand and his throwing motion, what works for one pitcher might not work for another, and what pitchers do is experiment with grips until they get the result they want.  This is not to say that generalized diagrams or photos would not improve this article.  72.177.123.145 (talk) 17:11, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

message: I think we should combine each type of pitch with it's main aritcle, that way we don't have 20 2-3 paragragh articles, just 3 or 4 concise ones. --Jonathan 05:20, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

message: This article could be improved by a discussion of what pitches are legal under the rules (the spitball is no longer legal, for instance; an intentional beanball will get a pitcher suspended from play by the league), the requirements for a legal pitch as stated in the rules, with references (one foot must be on the rubber, etc.), and a brief mention of what constitutes a balk and a link to the balk article.   72.177.123.145 (talk) 16:55, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Which types of fastballs fall into this category? I know 4-seam does.  213.149.51.153 (talk) 14:15, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rising fastball 

message: There are pitches that require a lot of finger dexterity (so I guess not everybody can properly learn them), that are distinguished by that. I think some of those are gyroball and curveball. My knowledge is quite limited so I could be wrong. But if this is true it would be good to expand the article with that. 213.149.61.120 (talk) 21:21, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  finger dexterity 

message: Some pitches if thrown well are known to cause wooden bat to break; cutter, shuuto. Are there more? If this is a distinctive quality of SOME pitches it would be good to cover that.Setenzatsu (talk) 14:11, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

message: Hi, I noticed that the collage used as the first picture is very low resolution and involves some photoshop trickery (see it's Commons description). I have a set of images at :c:Category:Vaughn Mauterer that I think can be made into a good replacement for the current image, but is it a worthwhile effort? Also, if other editors like, I can go photograph on a different day (more notable pitcher, white jerseys, etc). Cheers, ConcreteOski (talk) 18:56, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
