HOW | PITCH My Sinker Ball | By BUCKY WALTERS Cincinnati Reds Star I have been asked to describe how I throw what has been termed “sinker ball.” To me this pitch is my natural fast ball. I throw it When I was a third baseman, it was said that the ball I threw was “heavy” and sank., I believe this is what caused Jimmy Wilson to think I might become a pitcher. A “heavy” ball is a disadvantage to any player except a pitcher. Most of the pitchers’ fast balls have a hop' on them. It is natural Other pitchers, of whom I am one, have fast balls that sink. When I am at my best my fast ball 'is sinking. When I am not, it is not doing muech, and, consequently, is _easier to follow. © » Occaslnnflli'. I throw more directly overhanded and my fast ball does not sink. I ysually try this when I think it might cross up the hitter. The only advice I can give to any young pitcher is to develop your strength. For instance, if you naturally are a fellow who can get the most of a fast ball that hops, throw it that way and do not experiment with trying to make a ball sink. If.you throw a natural sinker you will know it soon enough. . If your fast ball hops, you will also know it.
