  • Knuckle Curve Pitcher on Mound Former MLB Umpire Ron Luciano on Knucklers
    “That ____ Eaton Pitch” ‐uttered by numerous opponents over the years in regard to Eaton’s knuckle curveball, with various derogatory terms used to fill in the blank Numerous Reds’ pitchers, after tremendous high school careers that culminated in being drafted by MLB teams, had great success with their knuckle curves in college and the pros. Above: Kyle Ottoson starts in Game 3 of Super Regionals for Arizona State vs. Texas and leaves the game with the lead, and Shane Dyer’s first of many baseball cards (rising all the way to Triple‐A) show his knuckle curve grip. Coach Danley learned the knuckle curve from a pitcher* at Oklahoma State in the late 1980’s, researched it, taught it, and embraced it fully, and went on to win 20 of the Reds’ 21 spring and summer state titles with the victorious Reds’ pitcher throwing the knuckle curve. While the pitch breaks down sharply like a curve ball, it has no curve ball spin or potentially damaging elbow torque like a curve ball, and so the name of the pitch is misleading. With this in mind, maybe what the Reds’ opponents called the pitch was a much better description: “that ____ Eaton pitch.” The Reds were frankly honored by the term, but more honored by the swings and misses (and sometimes quite ugly ones at that) at the pitch. The knuckle curve and Eaton’s Championship Years are so intertwined it would be redundant to other material on EatonBaseball.com to focus an entire story on the pitch, however as one example of its dominance, the Reds in the 2008 State Championship found themselves clinging to a 3‐1 lead with the opponent loading up the bases with no outs, at which point the Reds threw 9 straight knuckle curves, producing 9 straight strikes, and ending the inning and effectively the game.

  • Ray Herbert Recalls Surprise 20-Win Sox Season in ‘62
    Ray Herbert recalls surprise 20-win Sox season in ‘62 By Mark Liptak Posted Wednesday, October 30th, 2013 Winning 20 games is a feat in any era. It’s especially tough in the 21st century with pitchers working on four days’ rest and getting 35 or fewer starts. But it wasn’t a given in the mid-20th cen- tury when a bigger strike zone, no DH and four-man rotations increased the odds of a 20-win season for a capable starter. Some of the best-known Sox pitchers of modern times have not won 20 while working on the South Side – Mark Buehrle, Tommy John, Joel Horlen. Instead, some surprising names reached that pitching bench- mark like Ray Herbert, Esteban Loaiza and Jim Kaat. Herbert connects to the great Sox pitching staff of the 1960s. “Excellent” is the word that best describes a group that lead the American League in ERA Ray Herbert warming up at Comiskey Park during in four of five seasons between 1963 his surprise 20-win season in 1962 . Photo credit: and 1967, that produced 11 All-Stars www.sfmsports.net. from the pitching staff, that had two 20- game winners, three 19- game winners, a “Fireman of the Year”, and four league leaders in ERA during the decade.
