Guest Juanky Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 "I saw something different than I saw in spring training. He wasn't just throwing hard, he was trying to make better pitches," said Mets slugger Carlos Beltran, who was 0-for-4. "Today he was, I think, more aggressive really and his screwball was working well for him inside. It was very tough to handle because he throws hard." AJ doesn't throw a screwball Linky from ESPN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSwift25 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I think he meant curveball, but who knows, he may have had that kind of rotation going today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Juanky Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I think he meant curveball, but who knows, he may have had that kind of rotation going today... Well, that would be rather sick, since screwballs bend to one side and then bend to the other if they are top notch (hence the 'screw').

AJBurnett34 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Beltran said screwball because of how much AJ's Fastball really was moving from middle of the plate to the outside of the plate. Its a normal 2 seam fastball that AJ throws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
