Knuckleball Nation

70 mph corkscrew knuckleball from my last bullpen as I ramp up to play professionally.

I'm a dad-bodded middle-age man that can squat 565 lbs, and strength is key for chuckin knucks.

And you've heard of mass = gas, but chunk = knuck... or maybe butter = flutter in my world.

Follow along to learn the knuck and as I prepare for pro ball.

What catcher's reaction.

The forward-turning knuckleball drops off the table. The catcher anticipated catching it before quickly adjusting to block at the last minute.

What's the RPM, ya think?

My knuck at 480fps

After the Indianapolis Knuckleball Clinic I got up on the bump in front of the lights and cameras to chuck some knucks in preparation for my pro comeback.

This one got the catcher in the clavicle...

.. and I think it's a strike. What do you think?

Use Big Balls! It's easy!

You've been throwing a baseball your whole life, and you probably rip down on the four-seam from habit. Well, we've got to eliminate that for the knuckleball.

You need to release the knuckleball out in front of your body while delaying that wrist action until the very end and big balls can help you do that.

Simply get a basketball, volleyball or soccer ball and a solid wall. Throw the ball at the wall with true backspin. How does your wrist and hand feel at release? Because in order to throw the big ball with proper spin, you'll need to delay the wrist snap until the very end. Like shooting a free throw.

And that's the wrist action of the knuckleball.

.williams8 chucks hard knucks

Been working with Jake for more than a year and the plan is simple -- develop a harder "angry" Knuckleball like RA Dickey. The spin doesn't have to be perfect but it's gotta be hard.

It's working out. His top knuck registered at 78 MPH and he'll be ready to try to break into pro ball when that gets up to 82. And I'm the perfect teacher because I learned the knuckleball right alongside RA Dickey. I know what he did to succeed. I know what it looks like.

These knucks were filmed at the 2026 Charlie Hough Clinic in Los Angeles, and they were thrown in front of the 25-year MLB legend himself.

73 mph Knuckleball.

Alex Blandino spent three seasons in the Major Leagues as an position player, and he chucked a few throw away innings on the mound in MLB mop up duty. That's when I first saw his Knuckleball.

When his position player career came to an end, he came to me to work in his Knuckleball to make a comeback on the mound.

This is his knuckleball in front of Charlie Hough and Johnny Knoxville at the 2025 Charlie Hough Knuckleball Clinic. And you can see why the catcher has a hard time handing it.
