How to Throw the Cutter (eBook)

The pitch Cutternation is named after.

Coach Jon broke his elbow, got told he was done, and the pitch that brought him back — and got him to 96 — was a fastball that cuts. Not a slider. Not a wrist-breaker. A fastball that looks like a heater and then isn't where the hitter swung.

If you only ever learn one secondary pitch, learn this one. It's the safest weapon in the game: thrown with fastball intent and a quiet wrist, the movement comes from the grip and finger pressure — not from stressing your elbow.

Inside: the exact grip and finger pressure, the "drift car" secret to late cut, where it eats (in on the hands, off the outer edge), pairing it with your four-seam off the same tunnel, why it's the perfect first breaking pitch for a young arm — plus both Cutternation cutter videos linked inside.

Next step: pair it with the Pitch Grip Guide and Pitch Sequencing & Soft Contact — all three are in the Pitching IQ series.
