DVD: "THE TRIPLE PITCH" BY COACH JERRY JOHNSON
Product Description
--------------------
--THE TRIPLE PITCH OFFERS A BRAND-NEW PITCH THAT
DROPS ACROSS THE PLATE ALONG AN 11 TO 5 PATH WHILE
TRAVELING OFF-SPEED.
--------------------
OVERVIEW BY AUTHOR:
--I'VE ALWAYS HAD THE DESIRE TO COME UP WITH AN
ORIGINAL PITCH. ONE NIGHT AFTER PITCHING PRACTICE
WAS OVER, I STAYED IN THE PITCHING ROOM AND STARTED
THROWING THE BALL INTO THE BACKSTOP, TRYING TO
WATCH THE BALL AS I RELEASED IT.
--ANYONE WHO HAS DONE THIS KNOWS HOW DIFFICULT
IT IS TO PITCH AND WATCH THE BALL AT THE SAME TIME.
--I EXPERIMENTED WITH DIFFERENT GRIPS, AND AFTER
PITCHING INTO THE BACKSTOP FOR SEVERAL WEEKS I SAW
THAT I HAD COME UP WITH SOMETHING "NEW".
--AFTER PITCHING THIS "NEW" PITCH A FEW TIMES MYSELF,
I ASKED ONE OF THE MSU PITCHERS AND ONE OF THE CATCHERS
TO STAY AFTER PRACTICE AND PITCH THE PITCH SO I COULD
SEE WHAT IT WAS REALLY DOING.
--AFTER THE FIRST THROW, THE CATCHERS SAID, "WHAT WAS
THAT?" THE REST IS HISTORY.
