Pitching to Win With Your Fastball provides a comprehensive overview of the factors that should be considered if a pitcher wants to use his fastball to help him become successful. The DVD points out that every type of pitch is thrown with fastball arm speed and fastball mechanics. In other words, ideally, almost every pitch should come out of a pitcher’s grip (depth, firmness, softness) the same.
