on the journey
Don't quote me on this, but i have heard that anything over 55 ish MPH created a whoosh sound. I have never heard that spin would do that without the speed. Just do a standing dry spin in your own hand and listen if you hear anything. That combined with 40+ mph may induce some sound, but change ups in my experience dont have that many revs, so i wouldn't think so. But i also dont know the conditions you were catching in.A question came to mind when practicing with DD on her change-up last night. Figured I'd keep this thread rolling and post it here.
I understand that ball spin for the change-up is more so dictated by which "style" the pitcher is using. But, can there be so much spin that you can hear it as it comes into the glove (I was catching). It was darker out and I was picking the ball up late, but I swear I could hear it despite the ball coming in very slow. She wants to practice it again today, so I'm hoping I'll be able to watch the spin better as the pitch comes in. Curious if others DD throws a change-up with a lot of spin.
