Pitchers have different methods of curving the ball, some holding it with the first and second fingers and the thumb, and delivering the ball with their wrist turned well back and a sort of snap motion so that it shall roll off those fingers and thus get a rotary motion which will give it the in-curve. In the out-curve the ball leaves the end of the fingers last, the thumb being kept out of the way.
