I have been chewing on Perry Husband’s concepts for the past three years. I have found them to be dynamic educational tools in teaching baseball’s most critical skills. I have seen exceptional results in our high school program and have been impressed with how quickly these concepts were recognized and implemented for USA Baseball. - Gary Hatch, USA Baseball gold-medal winning Youth National Team (pitching coordinator 2006, head coach 2007)
Perry's latest work is a terrific example of his genius when it comes to understanding pitcher-hitter match-ups. You could jump right in with the Sequence book and then decide later if you needed the background research provided by books 1 and 2. - Richard Todd, WebBall
Theory becomes reality.
Now every new discovery on pitcher-hitter match-ups, pitch deception, effective velocity, and the hitter's attention theory... can be put to use on the mound!
"The Science of Pitch Sequencing" is the latest in Perry Husband's ground-breaking series on Downright Filthy Pitching. Book 3 takes Perry's many years of research on actual in-game duels (millions of pitches), combines that with his experience as an instructor and coach for both pro players and those with pro aspirations, then shows you how to apply all these new insights to your pitch selection and delivery.
Book 3 provides a more simplified, step-by-step approach than his previous books. The discoveries of perceived velocity are brought down to easy-to-recall teaching methods, then built back up into an approach to pitching mastery. You'll learn...
- How +/- velocity adjustments can combine with location and movement to fool batters.
- How to use pressure pitches to get hitters to chase outside the zone.
- How freeze pitches stop batters from swinging by coming at them unexpectedly.
- How line of sight combines with release point to keep hitters guessing.
These insights will change everything about how pitching staffs of all ages approach every game and every hitter.
Each chapter is filled with insights and step-by-step guidelines on how to master pitch location and develop pitch sequences.

Book 3 also includes overlay images which dramatically demonstrate the different look of sequenced pitches (like the curveball and fastball shown at the bottom of the page). You'll learn why the results will depend not only on the pitch thrown, but the pitch expected.

New information in Book 3 includes...
You'll learn how a single pitch like the slider (right) can be used in many different situations and why it's the least likely pitch to be hit for a homerun.
You'll also discover how different pitches can serve the same purpose depending on location. The top chart (left) shows a slider (blue ball) as a Pressure Pitch that is designed to look like a strike and move out of the zone. The lower chart shows the change-up (orange ball) as a Pressure Pitch.
You'll see how position on the pitching rubber can dramatically change the look of the movement of a pitch but also the final location of the pitch. Without changing mechanics, moving on the pitching rubber can help dramatically with deception.
And you'll discover how shock value is the secret behind the Freeze Pitch... by comparing strike pitches thrown through "the tunnel" with pitches thrown with a very different look out of the hand - keeping the hitter from puliing the trigger.
