	Circle changeup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In baseball, a circle changeup is a pitch thrown with a grip that includes a circle formation, hence the name.
		The circle is formed by putting the index fingertip against the thumb tip, and holding the ball against the palm with the remaining three fingers.
		The circle changeup is a variation of the straight changeup.

	Palm mute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Palm mutes are executed by resting the edge of the picking hand's palm on the strings near the bridge, producing a dampened sound.
		Palm muting is so widely used as to be idiomatic in hard rock, heavy metal, and particularly thrash, speed and death metal, but it is often found in any style of music that features electric guitars with distortion in the signal's pre-amplification stage.
		Palm muting can also be heard in The Animals' "House of the Rising Sun", and is employed on both acoustic and electric guitars by Al Di Meola.

		The changeup is sometimes called an off-speed pitch, although that term can also be used simply to mean any pitch that is slower than a fastball.
		One such pitcher is Trevor Hoffman, who is renowned for a devastating changeup combined with an average speed fastball.
		There are several types of changeup, which are generated by using different grips on the ball during the pitch.

		OK, now that you've got your grip, hold the baseball deep in the palm of your hand to maximize friction and to "de-centralize" the force of the baseball when the pitch is released.
		I also discuss this in my three-finger changeup article, but one great way to develop "fastball mechanics" but changeup speed is to practice throwing your changeup as you long toss (throwing beyond 90 feet).
		THE PALMBALL (sometimes called a "palm ball" or "four-finger changeup") is one of two or three variations of the changeup.

	SportingNews.com - Your expert source for A change will do them good
		A good changeup needs to be located properly; it darts out of the strike zone when it looked for all the world as if it were going to be a strike.
		A changeup is successful when it is considerably slower or has a completely different movement pattern than a fastball.
		Their changeups succeed because they are deceptive and have movement -- in Maddux's case, incredible movement.

	Baseball Discussion Group - Change up/palm ball (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		My experience has been that a palm ball is actually a VERY difficult pitch for a young pitcher to control.
		This doesn't mean that a palm ball is a bad pitch or that, later, a pitcher may prefer it when his hand gets larger.
		That's where the good changeups happen...the hitter reacts to fastball arm speed, and the ball is not quite there yet, weaker contact/no contact can result.....

		Rothschild, a former pitching coach for the Florida Marlins, is a firm believer that, for many pitchers, the changeup is critical to their development.
		Saunders throws a version of the palm ball, with the ball resting in the back of his hand instead of being supported by fingers.
		The changeup is not as macho as a fastball and does not have the prestige of a good splitter or slider, but it can turn an ordinary arm into a big winner.

		The most important thing to realize is that the grip of the changeup is meant for you wrist to be able to break and not to be straight or stiff.
		The concept then of the changeup is to let the ball come off your fingers.
		The ball must lie or rest on the balls of your fingers (meaning where your fingers are attached to your palm).

		The three finger change is a three finger grip with the thumb and little finger moved around to the side of the ball instead of being at the bottom.
		Take the two seam grip & rotate the ball back toward the palm until the fingertips are in the middle of the bare leather.
		Your pitchers need to be confident throwing a changeup on the first pitch or on a full count.

		He uses a curveball and changeup to keep hitters honest, although both pitches are merely average.
		Scouts grade his changeup as major-league quality and say his curveball is about average.
		He throws a curve, changeup and mid-90s fastball, so Pinto has the raw material to be a major league pitcher.

		Helling says his changeup feels comfortable early in camp, and he hopes he can start using it more often and make it a key part of his season.
		So alluring and lethal is the very knowledge that a pitcher has a good changeup that it can create more room for pitchers to make mistakes.

	ESPN.com - MLB - Olney: Hoffman gets a grip ... and a Hall of Fame career
		In 1994, a fellow pitcher showed Trevor Hoffman his discarded grip for a changeup, and 12 years later, Hoffman sits in the visitors' dugout at Shea Stadium, raises his right hand and tells the whole truth about the pitch that will take him to the Hall of Fame.
		The key to the pitch, he explains -- the Coca-Cola formula of his changeup -- is how he pinches the seam of the ball with his thumb and index finger as he releases it.
		He throws the changeup with the arm speed used to throw a fastball, the hitter thinks it's a fastball, it looks like a fastball.

	Hitting Lab
		In batting practice, most hitters work on their timing, they are getting loose; maybe working on hitting the ball the other way, keeping the hands inside, or creating a good downward path, but ultimately, a big league hitter relies primarily on the instincts he’s built over years and years of game at bats.
		Sure you develop hand eye coordination, barrel awareness, strength, and bat speed by just swinging the bat, but what separates the great ones from the average hitters is the ability to react to the curveball or changeup without getting beat by the fastball.
		The RPM Gamer is the ultimate training tool – The Gamer is programmed through a palm pilot which enables the coach to set a hitting routine or a series of pitches that will be specific to the needs of his hitters.

		The repetition of his changeup -- same arm slot, same motion, same delivery, same way of hiding the ball as it comes out of his hand every time -- makes it one of the game's most prized natural resources.
		At that point, he began earnestly refining the changeup, a pitch that had intrigued him ever since he studied John Tudor as a kid.
		He shoves the baseball back into the palm of his hand, further back than a conventional changeup, and then pinches the seams with his thumb and index finger as he's throwing it.

		The addition of the changeup turned Hoffman from a power pitcher to a pitcher who relied more on the finesse of balancing his fastball with his changeup.

		The changeup is his legacy, as strange as that might sound for a burly closer like Hoffman.

		With a fastball that flirts with triple digits and a solid changeup, Zumaya ranked second in the minors with 199 strikeouts and held opposing hitters under.200 at both Class AA and AAA in 2005.
		While the 6-3, 215-pound Zumaya has taken the edge off his violent delivery in recent years, he could be better served as a setup man in the short term and eventually a closer given Todd Jones' advanced age.
		One of the big reasons that Class A Lakeland is in the Florida State League playoffs is OF Brent Clevlen, who led the loop with 102 RBI and eighth in the batting with a.300 average.

	Baseball Fever - Changeup
		Make sure to practise your changeup with your catcher alot and get it down before you use it in a game situation.
		As a catcher I can't tell you how frustarated i get when one of those wanna be all stars throws a "change up" that goes 10 feet over my head, or one that lands in the dirt so hard that it sprays me with a nuclear explosion sized dust cloud.
		The tendency, then, will be to try to throw it harder, but in doing so you might have to change your mechanics but the idea of a change-up is too keep everything else about the pitch the same as your fastball so the batter can't read the difference until it's too late to adjust.

	Palm ball - Knuckleball Pitching Community
		The reason why its not used often is because the deeper you grip it the harder it is to control but it also does take off more speed.
		I think the palm ball is usually a straight change as well, so not alot of movement on it; which is why a circle change is favored.
		I don't agree with the not alot of movement because i throw a palm ball and it tends to go down and in on a right handed batter, it could be how the ball is orientated in my hand though so it could be that.

	SI.com - SI Players - Johan Santana: A Changed Man - Tuesday August 16, 2005 11:35AM
		Twins lefty Johan Santana throws a 94-mile-an-hour fastball and a slider that falls off a table, but it's his wicked changeup that has thrust him into the upper echelon of major league pitchers -- and to the top of this week's SI Players poll.
		Thanks to a grip in which he holds the ball close to his palm with his index finger on the inside seam and his middle fingers over the top seams, Santana's changeup crosses the plate about 15 miles per hour slower than his heater.
		In 2000 and '01, his first two seasons in the majors, Santana had a 5.90 ERA and struck out 6.39 batters per nine innings; since then he's had a 3.00 ERA and 10.13 strikeouts per nine innings.
