Things I Learned Throwing Batting Practice

This isn't exactly a revelation, but I thought it was pretty cool. First, I discovered that I can actually throw a knuckleball. It's very slow (and I mean slow, even for a knuckleball), but there isn't much spin at all on it, and it dances pretty well.

The other think I learned is that repeatedly throwing knuckleballs kills your fingers. The first knuckles on the ring, middle, and index finger of my right hand were all swollen, and my cuticles were all cut up.

But it's still pretty cool that I can throw a knuckleball.
