404 - WHEN TO DEVELOP THE CURVE BALL
Not allowing a player to throw the
curve (any breaking pitch) until they are in the "Upper Levels" is one way to
make sure the body has physically matured to throw this type of pitch.
A good pitching form and proper technique of
delivering the pitch are important to avoid placing unnecessary strain on the shoulder and
elbow joints. When a player has developed good mechanics, then learning to throw, the
curve can be mastered.
