  • The Evolution of the Spitball
    The Evolution of the Spitball The use of spit to get extra movement on a breaking ball is as old as the game itself. There are solid stories of Tommy Bond and Chick Fraser throwing what could be termed a spitball back in the 1800s. Bobby Matthews was one of the game’s first great pitchers, and his “drop ball” was actually a spitter. There is an account of Matthews using this “drop pitch” when he was 16 years old, which was way back in 1868! But apparently no pitcher from the 1800s had such an electrifying spitball that they used it as their main pitch. Unlike the next generation of spitballers, the early practitioners of the pitch seemed to be going for a more mild form of the pitch that would be easier to control, and the detailed descriptions of their technique generally involved just moistening the tips of their fingers. The second coming of the spitball had pitchers who were getting a huge break on the pitch, and rather than wetting their fingers, they focused on moistening a spot on the ball itself. Some were described as slobbering on the ball, and a few even licked the ball directly with their tongues. One spitballer of the new generation described his method as wetting a spot on the ball about the size of a “half dollar.” The big breaking pitch was tough to control, but for those who could master it, it was such a superb weapon that around 1904 we began to see for the first time pitchers who were using it as their dominant pitch.
