I pitched in college. Fix your feet. You always want you lead foot to be pointing where you want to throw. Also throwing any pitch other then a knuckle ball is all about your wrist. Flick it straight down for fast ball. Twist down to a 90degree to throw curve. And a 45 degree for slidders. Always have a decently tight grip. Not strangling it tho. And let the ball roll off your finger tips. Best way to practice is to spread out into a T form and practice throwing downwards. Might help. Might not. Everyone’s. But the basics
A little trick for the knuckle drop, grip it with the index and middle finger knuckles and have the thumb grip like a fastball, the put the ring and pinky on the side of the ball, it's a lot more accurate and has more movement, try it if you want
My tip would be when you follow through don’t close your legs leave a little bit of space and also follow through more in the forward direction but you’re doing great
Get some of those weighted balls they use in MLB to warn up with. I think they're called plyos maybe? If you warm up and strengthen your arm with those heavier balls you'll be able get results throwing the blitzball faster in a shorter time I bet. The bug challenge will be continuing to throw strikes with the breaking pitches once you're throwing harder. Add velocity and your aiming points will change on all of the breaking pitches.
I feel like Zo should try throwing a split and see how that goes, it might work with his delivery, the same arm angle and arm slot that’ll tunnel really well with the fastball
Zo has made vast improvements in his blitzball game watch out, and honestly I want another floor hockey tourney but longer so more Zo lighting up the scoreboard.
Keep your center of gravity over the pitchers mound throughout you wind-up and all the way until your arm is moving forward. You’ll know that your timing is perfect when you feel your back foot pushing you forward just as you’re releasing the pitch.
Love this! I don’t know if you need this at all, but one thing I noticed as a pitcher is that you aren’t getting the full “over the top” feel from your throw. I think it could add a lot of speed and accuracy if you can get the full rotation out of your shoulder. Keep it up!
So most of the time when you’re throwing a knuckle you should keep your fingers more spread apart. Most people tend to have more fingers on the ball when throwing a knuckle so to have the variety really helps with the movement. There’s ur tip❤ love ur stuff btw
I know it’s hard to aim, but the best way to keep the ball in the park is by keeping it low in the zone, when you throw that dropper high, it essentially becomes a giant meatball
Hi you should hold your curveball with 3 fingers and spin your wrist and boom there is a curveball ( For a baseball you have to not hold the seams and grab it with three fingers)
you should do a knuckle-curve, its my pitch, so you put both your pointer and middle finger into the knuckle position and your thumb goes on the left side of the ball. your ring and pinky fingers hang off the side of the ball to give it the flick of the rist for the curve. you want to throw it just like how you would throw a normal curve but just i tinsey bit over the top more
Yo zo I luv playing wiffleball with my friends and stuff when baseball is cancelled, I am pretty good with off speed but need a fifth pitch. Can u do a tutorial on ur pitches or at least the Knuckle Slider?
My tip is visualize the zone, and throw as hard as possible towards it to see if you can reach your desired speed then eventually try to locate it in some spots when you get the hang of your top speed
Zo for the off speed you need to get more spin and for the location just keep practicing and you’ll get there some day hope your journey goes well and I love the content and hope y’all will keep uploading
I’m a little late, but your letting your throwing elbow drop and in essence “pushing” the ball. Try keeping your throwing arm extended through your motion in and driving your shoulder into the ground
Try a riding slider it’s a really easy side arm throw, grip it like a normal curve/slider and make the riser grip, then try to angle yourself and put left foot in front of right, then sidearm the “sliding riser”
I throw a knuckle drop/curve when I play, I use just two fingers with my other fingers pointing straight, you can flick it like a curve or even just throw it over the top like a fastball
Just realized your so close to 30k by the way great pitching
They now have 30.7k that was fast
They now have 30.7k that was fast
*you're
And they're at 79.8k now! So proud
@@ATalkingBadger exactly

doyouwannatalkaboutit?.MP4 (your video from 2 years ago 😂)
Yo he's better than me and I have been pitching for weeks
I AGREE
i’m all for zo learning to pitch. can’t wait until the next blitzball battle, we got ice is gonna be tough comp for jake and jomboy!
Man I can’t offer anything more than what Jack knows, you got a great teacher.
Love the content! This channel has ALOT of potential

It’s a lot different in wiffle ball or blitz ball you may have to step a certain way to get it to move
Would love to see a training Zoe to pitch video, going through advice and learnings! Improvment looks awesome!
Zo and Jack are my guilty pleasure. The pair of you together is just too funny.
We need more like this
Let’s go, Zo! Hope to see some more pitching the next Bliztball Battle!
He will hit 100 mph by the end of the year🔥🔥🔥
Lol
Hi backyard sports league I know your reading this
@@TheBlitzballKidprolly not
We NEED THIS.

My travel team calls them slugs, r u talking about those? There red, orange, and green slugs
A great pitch is using the fastball grip and throwing it submarine so it go very high and far left and cuts back really fast you should try it!
Here’s a pitch to try grab the ball with your middle ring and pinky finger and throw it sidearm
I feel like Zo should try throwing a split and see how that goes, it might work with his delivery, the same arm angle and arm slot that’ll tunnel really well with the fastball
Keep up the good work ZO!
Just realized your so close to 30k by the way great piching
Try a cutter instead of a knuckle slider or a back door slider which can be thrown side arm. They both can move majorly horizonally.
Zo has made vast improvements in his blitzball game watch out, and honestly I want another floor hockey tourney but longer so more Zo lighting up the scoreboard.
Me when I pitch with my hat forward “puts hat on backwards “becomes Hawkeye”

Keep at it zo
Lorenzo you’re so good!! Idk why you don’t pitch in the videos
You got this
I’d recommend trying driveline balls, j-bands, and shoulder work. Hope that helps!
Good job!! Better then I can do 😀
If you can learn a submarine knuckle slider, you’ll be nastier than everyone else in the field
So most of the time when you’re throwing a knuckle you should keep your fingers more spread apart. Most people tend to have more fingers on the ball when throwing a knuckle so to have the variety really helps with the movement. There’s ur tip❤ love ur stuff btw
GREAT PITCHING MAN KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
The star labs sweater is so funny
Looking really good, try to stay lose with your arm when you throw. It'll help a ton. Looking forward to more of these!
Ive never played but it looks challenging
You got this 👍
The knuckle curve or the Gyro ball throw as hard as you can with the slider
Don’t have any tips but you just swiped me three new ones so thank you
Good job you were better then me I am also learning and trying to get better you should keep trying good pitching
Love the pitching bullpens, Zo
This is super satisfying to watch.
We Got Ice putting in those hours in the off season. Love to see it.
Your doing great zo
I know it’s hard to aim, but the best way to keep the ball in the park is by keeping it low in the zone, when you throw that dropper high, it essentially becomes a giant meatball
Whenever your trying a knuckle drop throw the ball with a flick , to the wrist and throw over hand or side arm
I like these videos please more more more and more

To throw a curve just do the same thing as a slider but throw it more overhand
Keep your throwing arm palm facing the ground longer before you begin the forward part of your throwing motion.
Love the star labs sweatshirt!
Hi i watch you guys all the time
Just found my favorite series
Do you pitch in the games a lot? (Sorry I don’t watch them as much)
Yo zo I luv playing wiffleball with my friends and stuff when baseball is cancelled, I am pretty good with off speed but need a fifth pitch. Can u do a tutorial on ur pitches or at least the Knuckle Slider?
Do you have a link or know what website you got them from the riffle balls, not the blitz balls?
hey you should try a side arm fastball it always works
My tip is visualize the zone, and throw as hard as possible towards it to see if you can reach your desired speed then eventually try to locate it in some spots when you get the hang of your top speed
Your doing good keep it up❤
Zo is the human cartoon character!!!!!
I would love a part 2. I’m kind of learning along with him.
Nice pitches bro
He's better than me
We believe in you keep going
This man is kinda a vibe
Yes, finally! We get to here from Zo AND see him pitch!
Why does this actually look really fun
I liked this vid I wanna see you pitch more so plz another vid
It’s always fun to watch people try to pitch and then they strike them out and the a exciting look
Awesome STAR Labs Shirt from The Flash
I really enjoyed this!
I don’t know much about baseball but I’d like to see this journey so ima sub and I hope you continue
Zo for the off speed you need to get more spin and for the location just keep practicing and you’ll get there some day hope your journey goes well and I love the content and hope y’all will keep uploading
You doing great man, keep it up.
I’m a little late, but your letting your throwing elbow drop and in essence “pushing” the ball. Try keeping your throwing arm extended through your motion in and driving your shoulder into the ground
I love how he said srow it
Congrats on 30k subs i love watching you and i am an og
Try the knuckle drop is two fingers/2 knuckles pointer finger and middle finger with your thumb under the ball
Try a riding slider it’s a really easy side arm throw, grip it like a normal curve/slider and make the riser grip, then try to angle yourself and put left foot in front of right, then sidearm the “sliding riser”
Part 2 please! Love you Lorenzo!
Its looking good
Super zo 💪🏼💪🏼🖤
Sick video
I really was wondering this Zo, love both of ya buddies, you are awesome =)
Givin up straight piss middles 😂
You got this👍👍👍
Batter has a good eye
my brain: TEKKERZ TEKKERZ TEKKERZ SWAZY SWAZ SWAZ
try throwing baseballs and then once you get the arm strength to throw that around like 70 or something then throw blitzballs it'll be so much easier
Keep working you got this. before You know it you’ll be pitching in a game!
Let’s go Zo! You dot this!
Great pitch dude my fastball is usually 72 my highest is 77 but you are pretty damn good
Yea do a part 2 man
That’s cool your really good
I personally throw the knuckle curve with blitzball and baseball, and u just have th throw it a whole lot to get used ot it
Im in this journey with you zo
W 🔥
I throw a knuckle drop/curve when I play, I use just two fingers with my other fingers pointing straight, you can flick it like a curve or even just throw it over the top like a fastball
I thought i was the only one who through a knuckle slider 😮
Keep doing the common pitch’s
