Throw it harder
A change-up pitch is thrown with the same arm motion as a fastball but a slower speed, often gripping the ball with the fingers and palm instead of the seams. This change in speed and grip disrupts the batter's timing, making it look like a fastball until the last moment.
An ASR fastball, or "All-Speed Range" fastball, refers to a pitch that maintains a consistent speed while also exhibiting a range of movement or deception. This type of fastball can vary in its trajectory or spin, making it harder for batters to predict and hit. The effectiveness of an ASR fastball lies in its ability to keep hitters off balance by combining speed with subtle variations, ultimately enhancing a pitcher's overall performance.

The first MLB pitcher to have the speed of his fastball measured was Walter Johnson. His fastball was clocked at 85 miles per hour in 1912, making him one of the earliest pitchers to have his pitch velocity recorded. Johnson is often regarded as one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, known for his powerful fastball and impressive strikeout record.
