with Jamey Shouppe, Florida State University Pitching Coach FSU's program is consistently among the top programs in collegiate baseball. One of the "weapons" that FSU has mastered is the "power" curve ball. Unlike your typical curve ball, the "power" curve begins in the strike zone and tails down and away; it combines 12-6 rotation with fastball-like speed! Shouppe share the drills used daily at FSU practices that will help your pitching staff develop a consistent, effective "power" curve! 1999. 49 minutes.
