The Changeup: The Pitch That Separates Good from Great
Velocity gets attention.
But speed change wins games.
The changeup is often the first pitch that teaches a pitcher how to outthink a hitter. It’s not about throwing harder — it’s about throwing smarter.
A great changeup requires:
-
Consistent mechanics
-
Proper grip and release
-
Confidence to throw it in any count
Inside my Changeup Course, pitchers can learn everything they need to build a strong foundation in just 4 weeks.
Inside the Next Level Pitching Academy, they learn how to master it — along with every other spin pitch — with ongoing coaching, structure, and support.
The changeup isn’t optional at higher levels. It’s essential.

Does your daughter have a changeup yet — or is it something she’s still working toward?
