How To Throw A Cutter (PRO STYLE!) - The Football Curve
Спорт
In this video I had to bring in Pro Pitcher Jon Sintes of Cutter Nation to explain how to throw a cutter and let me tell you this pitch is nasty! If you want to know how to throw a cutter like Mariano Rivera, then this cutter tutorial is the one for you! Jon's main pitch is the cut fastball and in fact, he teaches young kids how to throw a cut fastball because it is much safer on the arm than a traditional curveball. He calls it the football pitch. You may have also heard this pitch called the football curve. So if you're a youth baseball coach, this how to throw a football curve video could help some of your pitchers add another pitch to their pitching arsenal. Jon shows us 3 variations of the cut fastball, shows us the pitching grips for all 3, and even throws the cutter for us a couple times. So be sure to watch the whole video and hop down in the comment section below if you have any questions for Jon or I about the cut fastball, the football curve pitch, pitching grips, or pitching in general, and we'd be happy to answer any questions you may have!

I wanna share my kids video with you, of him throwing this cutter.
People keep hating on him because of the 7.90 ERA. Just because he had a pretty bad season doesn't mean his cutter advice is invalid.
Hit my first home run today

Never was a pitcher and don't know much about it, but I have been trying to teach my son the cutter through different videos. This video is the first video that has actually helped him. The other videos taught grips and what not but he couldn't get the ball to cut. We tried out what was shown on this video and immediately he was able to throw it with a cut. First time he legitimately threw a cutter. He was so excited and he said it was easier than he thought. Thank you!
2:13 - 3 different speeds and 3 grips would be 9 variations--not 6. That's why he teaches baseball and not math. LOL

Mariano's cutter is his fastball. No one can throw a mo cutter because his grip is a four seam fastball grip, and the way he throws it cuts naturally for him.

I'm glad they didn't mention him, anything associated with the Yankees triggers me. I don't want to have to go into the closet and scream for 15 minutes than curl up on the floor crying. Thanks!
This actually helped me. I got so much movement on my cutter now.
My 11yr old son plays little league for the past 5yrs, he'll move up to 12u next yr and loves pitching, he wasn't a fan of the curveball but he's learning the slider and absolutely luvs throwing it and throws it good for his age, I appreciate your advice in pitching, keep up the great work.
Oh man oh man. Literally watched this vid during my bullpen. IT FREAKING WOOOOOORKS!!! THANK YOU GUYS

Yessir he did this very good remember on any pitch never change your arm angle it doesn’t do anything but hurt your arm the only thing that changes is the grip and the positioning of your wrist
Thankyou Mr. Maden

You should make a video on where the ball should be releasing out of your hand for the slurve/ curve. Alot of talk about getting the movement and the axis point but not so much on release points.
That was the first time someone recommend the same grip on the cutter that I use. I think Rivera used the same grip as well. If I remember right he put a bit more pressure on the middle finger when he threw the pitch. That what I do on my cutter. I also throw a sinker. That is much different from the way it is taught. I think I can throw the sinker differently because of the my arm action is unique. I feel most comfortable throwing the screwball. People say that the screwball is terrible for the UCL. It may be however: my shoulder is what I am more concerned about. I have had "dead arm" once since learning the screwball I am starting to find my Velocity again. I throw a 4-seam fastball but I tend to try to do too much sometimes with that pitch. I am going to tryout for some independent league soon.
Good game
Awesome,
I really think this will be an effective pitch at least in my arsenal because I throw so many different types of fastball and in this pitch you can play with the soeends

John, I enjoyed the video. Agree with a lot of what your guest said and really like your honesty about a previous cutter video you did. I have one issue regarding the, "throw it like a football". It's my understanding that in order to get a nice tight spiral with a football you need to pronate your hand. Your guest describes it as NOT pronating. Can you please clarify?
@YouGoPro
6 жыл бұрын
I agree you pronate on a football throw 🏈 but I think he was talking about through release no pronation, after that I think you naturally get to it even when throwing a cutter. It’s later timing of pronation vs no pronation IMO
Coach can you please explain how to master at knuckle curve
The best ever has thrown the cutter the great Mariono rivera period.............
Seems like Cutters and Sinkers are only options if you can throw at least 90. South of 90 and those grips are basically muddy fastballs, correct?

Ok, just watching to learn what a cutter is, and is it just me or could you not get WAY more movement and the same combinations with curve/slider grip and motion. Slider would be his flat cutter and a bad curve would be the middle. May its just me since I haven't played for a few years and I threw slower (low 70s), but I could throw a ball at the batters face and it drop to the middle of the box. Help me out if I'm missing something, I'm just missing the sport and trying to learn some stuff. EDIT: I guess he sorta addressed it at the end. So it is just a worse curve/slider but is less stressful?
Coach John, I love your videos and they've really helped me be a well rounded pitcher. I am 13 years old, so is going to Perfect Game USA showcases a waste of time or should I consider going to one, will I actually benefit from it?

It depends, rotate the movement of the pitch by 90 degrees and that is likely what you get out of it, if you want the same movement I think it would be different, I was sidearm for a while too, but I slightly prefer going basically straight up
Interesting. I throw my cutter differently and get the same result.

Yes, this happens. You just have to find a good pair of pants with the right in seam. If your crotch area hangs down low it may restrict your movement. I liked pants that were more snug there but still comfortable.

Chris O’Donnell Yeah I can't wear long pants. I wear the ones with the scrunchy end so I can wear them at my knees. Since I'm pretty susceptible to raspberries I also roll my socks over the pants so there is a sort of padding but this also helps to keep the pants up.

Mos cutter wasn’t a cutter grip. He threw a 4 seam that cut. Really making it like a 2 seam that went away like a slider,
Mariano gripped the ball the same way and released the same way every time . Economy of motion.
Is it fine if my four seam has a natural cut to it

How come no one tucks their fingers into the ball for a change up or curve ball ??
My 11 year-old throws a cutter a lot . He is supposed to be throwing a Two seam fast ball . Half the time he ends up throwing a cutter .It almost gets to plate and jumps to the left a good 8 to 10 inches.I m worried about him hurting his arm so sending him to a pitching coach to help make sure he is not going to hurt his arm doing it.It is a brutal pitch though .He has a lot of K's.
I started throwing this but I started to flick my wrist and spin it off my finger more so now it’s more of a curveball so not a cutter anymore 😂
So i was taught a certain fastball poorly and it was introduced to me as a cutter, i have my first two fingers on the right side of the horseshoe with my second hardly touching (I am a righty) and it breaks in on righties. Anyone know what that is?

So I did some research into the gyroball and, while it does spin like a spiral much like the gyroball, my pitch seems to go up and in, unlike the gyro being an enhanced cutter

Does your elbow hurt cause of the cutter ? I'm afraid to throw it. I guess throwing it like a football won't injure the elbow.
Lmao he’s basically just talking about throwing a cutter and a slider
That’s not a 4 seam
Its a slider... Watch mariano teach it. You should pronate a bit, kids will hurt thier arms when thier FB starts being thrown like a slider (he said football).
