The first step in learning a changeup is understanding the role of the pitch and what’s actually important when throwing it. To figure out which type of changeup you like the best, talk about the most common ones in softball and about what we want to see from each.
The next video goes over how to get started with the change. If you're just learning it or don’t like your current one, try all of the releases and see what clicks.
-
This video goes more in depth with each change release and shows you how to get started with each one. The release makes this pitch, so be mindful when breaking it down.
Spend a bit of time playing with these releases to really figure out the right changeup for you. If you're stuck between two, work on both for a while and then decide.
-
After figuring out which release fits you the best, it's time to start building up to a full pitch by first mastering throwing it slowly.
-
The last step before throwing your change up from the mound, we’ll be a couple feet in front of the pitching rubber working on your release, throwing hard, and feeling it the same as your fastball.
-
The best ways to master a change is to constantly mix it with other pitches. Even when you first start throwing it, mix it with your fastball to keep feeling your timing. If you've done the complete progression, you know how to release it, so it's all a matter of throwing it like normal. Here, we mix it with our fastball and talk about the key things to focus on.
