A split-finger fastball is a pitch in baseball where the pitcher holds the ball with their index and middle fingers spread apart, creating a split grip. When thrown, this pitch has a downward movement and can be deceptive to batters. It is different from other pitches like a fastball or curveball because of its unique grip and movement.

The most accurate pitch in baseball is the 4-seam fastball. You can throw a 4-seam fastball by: Placing your index finger and middle finger comfortably apart from each other across the seams where the seams are farthest apart from each other. Then, throw it as if you were playing catch.
A no seam fastball will go anywhere. You can't control it.
