On today’s Keep Klimbing podcast, Brett Graves talks about building your pitching arsenal based on your strengths and what you do best. Every pitcher is different, and understanding which pitches best fit your abilities is key to long-term development. Brett, as always, Keeps Klimbing by using his own experience to help you understand how to continue working to get yourself better.
In this episode, he begins by breaking down the curveball — what the pitch is designed to do, how and when it should be used, and how proper spin and shape create the depth and downward action that define an effective breaking ball.
Because the curveball can vary greatly from pitcher to pitcher, grip is the key. Brett walks through multiple grip variations and opportunities to help pitchers find the curveball grip that works best for their hand, arm action, and strengths.
