Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Yo-Yo Curveball-Curveball with wicked, tumbling bite, on which it looks like the pitcher in question is "pulling the string" to start its precipitous drop* (e.g., Doc to NL, 1984-1986; Wainwright to Beltran, 2006)*All the more apropos since the motion of throwing a snappy curve is akin to that of throwing a yo-yo-- release the ball out front with full extension, then pull the wrist in.
