Description
An Angels baseball signed by pitcher Jered Weaver (#36). Donated by long-time Angel Trainer, Rick Smith.
Weaver has an exceptionally straight 88–92 mph four-seam fastball which he can control very well. Since the 2010 season, he has also utilized a two-seam fastball. His breaking ball repertoire includes a plus changeup, a slider, and a curveball. He also throws sidearm occasionally for a strikeout or to fool hitters. Part of Weaver's success has been attributed to his unusual pitch delivery. Before throwing the ball, he briefly turns his back to the plate, hiding the ball and making it difficult for batters to figure out his release point. Another aspect to Weaver's delivery is his plant foot in which his left foot lands far off to the right side of the mound causing him to throw across his body, further increasing the deception to his pitches.
