| The two-seam fastball is thrown much like a four-seam fastball, except that the grip is different. The two-seam fastball should be gripped with either the index or middle finger (try experimenting with both) placed directly on top of (parallel to) the seam of the Blitzball. This particular grip will slightly alter the angle of ball rotation and should cause the Blitzball to break either in or out as it crosses the plate. The two-seam fastball should be gripped a little bit tighter than the four-seam fastball to ensure optimal movement. The two-seam fastball doesn't have the same velocity or rising action as the four-seam fastball, but it is a great pitch to mix in once in a while because of its deceptive lateral movement. |
