"With this particular pitch, Frasor doesn't use a traditional grip for a split-finger fastball, though -- it is a splitter-changeup hybrid. The right-hander holds the ball with his index and middle finger spread across the baseball, wrapping his ring and pinkie fingers around the side. It's like a split, but I think people call it a fosh."


Started throwing it back in '05 but stopped and just now started using it again.

Who else thows this pitch?

I've never heard of anyone throwing one. That's cool though.

I tired throwing it and gave up a 2 run double.

Haven't pitched since

in the game, jeff suppan (a cardinal, i think) throws the only foshball.
nice pickup, btw.
i should probably edit the guy now.
what level foshball?

Probably only level 1 or 2. He has a level 2 splitter in the game but it actually should be the foshball.

Really? I have great success with the foshball. I usually throw it after coming in with a hard two-seamer.

Tom Gordon of the Phillies throws a foshball and a slurve.

Suppan is on the Brewers.

dangit.
at least i got the division right.
and gordon's about to retire (or is he already retired) anyway.

yeah, he's WAY overrated in this game.

I don't need a fosh I throw a V-SLD, Chg, 2seamer and 4seamer

I would set it at a 2. It can't be 1 because it is something he has thrown in the past but I would say a 2 because its something that he is just starting to throw again as his 3rd pitch.
