THREAD: Hunter Penrose came into a pitch design with Jake Witt in need of an offspeed. His current CH had 14.5” avg of lift, leaving no off separation of his FB (14”). After multiple cues & grip changes, we could only get it down to 12”

Thus, the splitter was born. Almost immediately, Hunter was killing lift by spinning it at a 2:45 tilt. His offspeed now has 13” of separation off his FB. (MLB AVG 10” VB Separation, 10.6 MPH Separation)

In the video on the left, we can see that his middle finger was back spinning the ball, creating the undesired lift. On the right, we see his index finger pushing thru the inside of the ball creating sidespin, effectively killing the lift.
