Abstract

The article discusses why baseball's most effective pitches screwball disappeared from the game. It refers to baseball player Hector Santiago of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim who demonstrated his screwball grip. It mentions that the screwball's decline is attributed partly to the emergence of other deceptive off-speed pitches including the circle change, the cutter and the split-finger.
