Why do people refer to pitches as unhittable when there is no such thing? It would be more accurate to say: "hard to hit pitch." This year batters are hitting .140 against his changeup, last year .185.
Learning baseball from my uncle I always heard a screwball as I grew I kept getting use to changeup. Devin Williams is honestly one of my favorite pitchers to watch and the way he’s rocking that fit is 🔥 to cap it off with the Travis 1’s it’s LIT!!!
I used to throw a pitch I invented called the F U pitch back in HS. I gripped it with my middle finger 🖕 and threw it like a splitter. Nasty sinking forkball movement.

He is actually throwing a screwball with an innovative grip. And the pitch has the spin rate and movement of a screwball as well.
Like he said at 4:40 “Kind of like you would do with a slider, but the opposite way.”
I hope the screwball makes a come back with younger pitchers using Devin’s “circle change” grip.
Trevor Richards has a similar screwball changeup.
Definitely not a change up. It is a screwball for sure.
Hader first, last year with Diaz and Clase, I don't think he's the best reliever this year.
bugs bunny change up so nasty baby

Why share anything about the pitch? I would keep my mouth shut
and now it will be hit after he explains is lol
Different grip, a changeup, but we called that a screwball when I was young. Turning the wrist inward.
Great to see

Throw it like a screwball with a changeup grip. Less stress on elbow
