List of pitches Fastballs The fastball is the most common pitch in baseball, and almost all pitchers use some form of a fastball from time to time. At its simplest, it is a straight pitch thrown very fast. The cut fastball, split-finger fastball and forkball are variations on the fastball with extra movement. The most common fastball type pitches are: fastball two-seam fastball four-seam fastball cut fastball split-finger fastball forkball rising fastball Breaking balls Well-thrown breaking balls have movement—sideways or downward usually. The goal is usually to make the ball difficult to hit well or confusing to batters. Most breaking balls are considered off-speed pitches. The most common breaking pitches are: breaking ball curveball knuckle curve slurve sinker slider screwball submarine (actually a pitching motion, not a distinct pitch type) Changeups The changeup is the staple off-speed pitch, usually thrown to look like a fastball but arriving much slower to the plate. It is meant to confuse the batter with timing. The most common changeups are: changeup palm change circle change Others Other pitches which are or have been used in baseball are: knuckleball Eephus pitch brushback and beanball spitball pitchout (not actually a pitch, but counts as one statistically) intentional ball See also: Wild pitch answers.com WR32
