Baseball Pitches Illustrated.

I'm still disappointed that the 12-6 curveball isn't called a dropball as in my childhood.

Mmmm, infographicky goodness. Thanks Dr. John, this pairs off nicely with the Seattle PI's pitching grips article (warning, PDF) from a few years back.

Oh cool. Thanks lilnemo. I had been thinking that it would be cooler to see hand grips next to the pitch.

Excellent! I've always wanted to see diagrams like these. You know, it's funny, but I find stuff like this (and Moneyball and the Fire Joe Morgan blog) absolutely fascinating, yet I have no desire whatsoever to actually watch a baseball game. I've watched zero televised games over the last two years and I attended one, but spent most of my time eating hot dogs and looking at cute girls.

For all baseball newbies, since I can't physically be there, thecompletepitcher.com will show you all how to grip respective pitches. Of course, you won't be able to throw them, you'll only know how to GRIP the ball.
