Quick Hit: Max Scherzer's Changeup

Since he's back in the big leagues, this is as good of a time as any to break out one of my favorite pitching animated images, and what I show my students when trying to teach them the merits of the changeup (high school and college kids are so enamored with breaking balls):

The changeup is the best least used pitch for young pitchers.

I love circle changeups. Pitching is about disrupting hitting timing and the changeup does that perfectly.
