Sinker


Question
I am 11 and my coach wants are team to learn how to throw a sinker. How do you do it?

Answer
Hey Josh,
Place your thumb between the seams on the smooth leather on the opposite side of the baseball.
Keep your hand and fingers on top of the ball until it's released. If a pitcher "cuts" the ball or releases it so that the hand ends up on the side of the ball, the sinker doesn't do much sinking.
Friction is created when the ball is thrown. Friction is what makes the ball sink. It's also what makes the pitch a few miles per hour slower than a normal fastball.
A good sinker is thrown down in the zone. Even if it's in the middle of the plate, if it's sinking down, you'll get a lot of ground-ball outs.
The sinker is an ideal pitch for younger pitchers. Its simplicity makes it an easy pitch to learn, and the way in which it is thrown puts little stress on young arms.
There's not much twisting of the wrist, so there's little torque put on the elbow or shoulder.
The pitch doesn't require much velocity to move down in the strike zone, so young pitchers won't need to "muscle up" on the ball and potentially break down in their mechanics.
Good Luck,
Dennis
