What does a pitcher do?

A pitcher throws a variety of pitches from the mound. He or She may throw a fastball, knuckleball, screwball, changeup, etc.... He or She may throw the ball fast or slow. Each pitch requires a different movement by the pitcher that the batter and others may not notice. When the ball is in play the pitcher is responsible for backing up the other players on many of the bases. The pitcher is needed for a back up play mainly at home plate. The pitcher's main responsibilities are to help back up the bases, stop runners from coming home, and try to strike out the batter.

How do you throw crazy wiffle ball pitches?

First, you need to scuff or cut a ball to get good movement. The ball will generally move toward the non-holey side, so if you put the holes on the right and threw overhand, it would move to the left. The best pitches I throw are: the forkball(jam the ball between your index and middle finger and throw over the top), the screwball(hold with the holes to the left and throw over the top), the drop(hold like a screwball but throw sidearm) and the changeup(put your index and middle finger in opposite holes on the ball and throw over the top. Experiment! Thats how I learned all these.
