"BoSox Fan a knucklecurve is a curve ball. However, that is one of the only pitches I believe he can throw. Splitter, Fork are the same. Slurve is a term used for somebody who thinks they throw a slider, but their coach thinks it's a curve. It is the same as a slider, or a curve. It is impossible for a high school age kid to throw a successful splitter or a screwball because their hands are simply not developed enough or their mobility to have this pitch be effective. Slider is possible yet unlikely. Even a changeup, which a palm ball is the exact same thing. It is hard to develop a good changeup unless you have been to countless workouts and been taught by someon who has thrown all these pitches, and the only place you will find that is the major leagues. Nobody throw the Gyro, you just heard that up top in a post and decided to say it. Cutter, let's leave this one to Rivera, we all know there is not a high school kid throwing this pitch. So basically after you sift through all the stuff that is physical not going to happen, and other stuff that he would have to be in the major leagues to learn how to throw effectively, you basically come down with a fastball, slider/curveball, possibly a changeup. So 10 went to 3 real quick. If you still insist on this I would love to know where he learned how to throw all these pitches, and why doesn't he have 100 scouts at every game. There is nobody in the pros that can throw this many pitches, do you even realize this? This is the type of statement that gets made when you have two kids in the backyard and one is down catching for the other one, and the decide they know how to throw all these pitches, so by the end of the day the rumor start that theres this kid that can throw 10 different pitches and he is going to play for the high school next year, Were gonna be awesome! Well let's just step back and have a little bit of a reality check here, and decide that this is simply not true, and there is nothing that will be able to convince me of that.

A fork and a splitter are 2 different pitches. So are a change and a palmball. I've seen Shaw pitch and I know he throws a knuckle, slider, knucklecurve, screwball, fastball, change, splitter, and fork. A slurve is a mix between a slider and a curve. A cutter is thrown by putting more pressure on of the fingers used to throw the fastball. I've heard he can throw the gyro but i haven't seen it. He uses all of these pitches in a game.
