How to Throw the Screwball?

Grip the ball with your index and middle fingers across the seams, with the thumb underneath for support

Hold the ball deep in your hand to help create the screwball spin

Use a throwing motion similar to a fastball

Rotate your forearm inward as you release the ball

Turn your wrist so the thumb finishes pointing down and inward

Release the ball with pressure from the middle and index fingers

Follow through naturally after release

Keep your arm speed consistent to disguise the pitch

Practice the grip and release slowly before throwing at full speed

Avoid over-rotating the wrist to reduce stress on the arm
