- Grip the ball as you would a four-seamer, across the seams with your index and middle fingers so that viewed from the front the seams form a sideways U-shape.
- Roatate your middle and index finger, and bring them together. This will leave your middle finger along the seam of the U-shaped seams closed end.
- Go into your windup, and hide how you are gripping the ball in your glove.
- Follow throw, and snap your wrist down while applying slight pressure with your middle finger for good velocity, this will cause the ball to move away from a right handed batter and in on a left handed batter
