George Kirby is still pushing to throw his knuckleball in games. He throws it in flatground catch and usually throws a few in bullpens. Obviously he's going to stick with his two fastballs, slider and splitter as his primary weapons. Could we see one every once in a while?

It was great talking with @BenLindbergh about the future of the #knuckleball . Thanks for taking the time and putting together a great article on the @ringer .

The Knuckleball Isn’t Dead Yet

With no true standard-bearers for the pitch in pro baseball, some are ready to declare it an endangered species. But if history is any indication, we haven’t seen the last of it yet.

Two different pitchers, two different grips, same result. There’s no right or wrong way to hold a knuckleball, whatever way works best for you to kill the spin on the ball #knuckledown
