PSL: Wagner Working on his Curve Ball

by Matthew Cerrone on March 2nd, 2008 at 10:36 am

i just finished watching Billy Wagner working on his curve ball…at first, he did a drill with Guy Conti supervising, during which he overemphasized the motion, while bouncing the ball intentionally on the ground to the catcher…

Rick Peterson then waltzed up, and wagner switched to throwing from a full wind-up, which was odd to see…he looked like a starting pitcher, as you can see in the video below…in standard peterson fashion, a long line of string runs across home plate, held up by two sticks…it’s roughly a a foot or so off the ground…wagner was testing out the curve ball at full speed, and it looked good…every pitch was just around the line
