Unsourced for more than a year, and this pitch is not listed in standard books on pitching. May be a sports neologism. Jprg1966 (talk) 07:37, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

::There is no reason to believe that these results constitute a standard use or definition of "knuckle changeup." There is also no indication that these sources support any of what is listed in the article we have. --Jprg1966 (talk) 04:47, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

:::Okay, like Knuckle slider, I say merge to changeup. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:13, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

  • Merge per Muboshgu. Sources do exist, but not enough substance to justify separate article, or to differentiate between ordinary changeup pitch. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:16, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Delete same as knuckle slider, never heard of it in my years of baseball "phanaticking"...sounds like a wiffle ball pitch. Go Phightins! (talk) 02:46, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
