Circle changeup is one of the most common and easiest throw to learn in baseball game. Many baseball coaches consider this throw as more advance pitch, with similar grip. Most of the young baseball players prefer circle changeup throw.
It is very easy to grip the ball in a circle changeup. You need to regularly practice following steps to learn to grip and throw a circle changeup:

Steps:

1. Take baseball in your hand.
2. Place your hand in such a way that the thumb curls up to the pointer finger.
3. Now place your pointer finger so that pointer finger curls down to the thumb.
4. Ensure that while griping the ball, pointer finger and thumb makes a circle.
5. Place your middle finger, ring finger and little finger on top of baseball.
6. Spread your middle finger, ring finger and little finger evenly from each other, over the top of the baseball.
7. By griping in this way, you can throw either as two seam or four seam. Initially, try to throw as two seam, and after some time try for four seam.

To make your throw look as much like your fastball as possible, you can throw more two seam fastballs rather than four seam fastballs. Keep your arm speed same as the fastball. The grip of circle changeup throw, will take the speed off the ball. A perfect changeup throw should be ten to thirteen miles per hour slower than the speed of your fastball.

You can also throw the circle to the ground at release point. Due to this ball will tail and your hand will rotate. To slow down your circle changeup throw, take shorter strides down the pitch. Don’t push off the rubber, and act like your back leg is not functional or it is dead. Practice regularly to perfect this.
