A changeup is a type of pitch in baseball and fastpitch softball. The changeup is a staple off-speed pitch often used in a pitcher's arsenal, usually thrown to look like a fastball but arriving much more slowly to the plate. Its reduced speed coupled with its deceptive delivery is meant to confuse the batter's timing. It is meant to be thrown the same as a fastball, but farther back in the hand, which makes it release from the hand slower while still retaining the look of a fastball. A changeup is generally thrown to be 8–15 miles per hour slower than a fastball. If thrown correctly, the changeup will confuse the batter because the human eye cannot discern that the ball is coming significantly slower until it is around 30 feet from the plate. For example, a batter swings at the oncoming ba

  • A changeup is a type of pitch in baseball and fastpitch softball. The changeup is a staple off-speed pitch often used in a pitcher's arsenal, usually thrown to look like a fastball but arriving much more slowly to the plate. Its reduced speed coupled with its deceptive delivery is meant to confuse the batter's timing. It is meant to be thrown the same as a fastball, but farther back in the hand, which makes it release from the hand slower while still retaining the look of a fastball. A changeup is generally thrown to be 8–15 miles per hour slower than a fastball. If thrown correctly, the changeup will confuse the batter because the human eye cannot discern that the ball is coming significantly slower until it is around 30 feet from the plate. For example, a batter swings at the oncoming ball as if it were a 90 mph fastball, but instead the ball is coming in at 75 mph—this means they will be swinging too early to hit the ball well (also known as being "way out in front"). Other names include a change-of-pace or a change. In addition, before at least the second half of the twentieth century, the term "slow ball" was used to denote pitches that were not a fastball or breaking ball, which almost always meant a type of changeup. Therefore, the terms slow ball and changeup could be used interchangeably. The changeup is analogous to the slower ball in cricket. (en)
  • Der Changeup (oder kurz change) ist ein Pitch (Wurf) im Baseball, der absichtlich langsam geworfen wird. Berüchtigte Changeups werden von den Pitchern Trevor Hoffman, Pedro Martínez, Johan Santana, Brad Radke, Cole Hamels und geworfen. Der Sinn besteht darin, dass der Hitter den Changeup mit anderen Würfen verwechseln kann, vornehmlich mit dem Fastball, der etwa 10–15 mph schneller ist. Dazu ist es unerlässlich, dass die Wurfbewegung exakt so aussieht, wie die der anderen Pitches. Insbesondere muss die Geschwindigkeit der Wurfhand (handspeed) für den Hitter identisch aussehen. Zu der Täuschung kommt häufig noch zusätzliche Bewegung, z. B. nach unten und lateral, die möglichst spät einsetzen soll. Man sagt, dass der Changeup den Fastball schneller aussehen lässt, dadurch wird das Timing des Batters gestört. Das Equivalent im Cricket ist der . (de)
  • Un changement de vitesse (en anglais, change-up, fréquemment appelé jusqu'à la seconde moitié du XXe siècle slow ball, « balle lente ») est un type de lancer utilisé par les lanceurs au baseball. Passage obligé au cours de l’apprentissage de ce sport, cette technique est enseignée avant le lancer plus complexe de la balle courbe. (fr)

  • Changeup är en typ av kast som en pitcher i baseboll använder för att försvåra för slagmannen att träffa bollen. En changeup är ett kast där pitcherns kaströrelse ser likadan ut som vid ett fastballkast, men där bollen inte kastas med maxhastighet utan med 10–15 procent lägre hastighet, vilket syftar till att rubba slagmannens timing.
