My usual delivery. is what is known as a three quarters overhand. I vary that delivery a little according to the batter 'm facing— for instances, for a batter with a closed stance I use a full over- hand. oA R “To throw a fast ball you must be sure that your stride is in perfect time with your arm as it comes around. “I let the ball go from my fingers just at the time it passes my ear, or when my arm is extended straight out from my shoulder. And I grip the ball just a little more firmly at the moment preceding release. “A good fast ball pitcher must have strength, but that strength must be of the graceful, loose type that lets him get a full whip into all his pitches. My advice to beginners is to forget curves for a while. Stick with control, then work on speed.
