What is the difference between a sinker and a two seam fastball?

∙ 9y ago
A two-seam fastball is thrown the same way as a four seam fastball, the only difference is the grip. It has more late breaking movement than a four seam fastball. For a righty it tends to rise in on a right handed hitter. For this reason, if thrown in the middle of the zone, it will jam a hitter and produce weak hits.
A sinker is the same pitch, but thrown down in the zone with slightly more wrist snap. Throwing this pitch down in the zone produces a late break downwards. The desired result is weakly hit ground balls.
Both pitches are easy to learn and easy on the arm as they do not require anything except the normal throwing motion.
