Actually when he first started throwing the change a lot I was surprised by how hard it was. I definitely remember seeing him throw some offspeed pitches in the highish eighties.

(And even if the fastest ones were curves (I don’t remember) he still can throw the change pretty hard)

All that's needed is speed differential from the FB

I agree

Also, I think the movement is at least as big a part of lincecum’s changeup as the speed differential. And he’s able to keep the movement so late – I remember seeing a graph showing different pitches’ trajectories to home plate, and at the point in time where the hitter has to decide whether to swing, the changeup and fastball looked identical.

That’d be a cool graph to look at, any idea where you saw it?

Baseball Think Factory or The Hardball Times probably, I get those sites mixed up.
