About Knuckleball Nation

Charlie Hough & Phil Niekro taught me the knuckleball alongside RA Dickey, and It broke me into pro baseball without ever having played in high school or college.

I'm Chris Nowlin. My story & my mission to save the knuckleball from extinction put Knuckleball Nation in the media spotlight.

Legends Talk Knuck Nation!

"I'm pulling for Chris Nowlin and I hope I can carry the torch long enough for him or someone like him to take it from me."

Cy Young Winner RA Dickey

"You should listen to Chris Nowlin. He really can throw a great knuckleball, and, more importantly, he can teach it well to others."

Hall of Famer Phil Niekro

"Chris can throw a knuckleball as good as anyone who's ever done it! I think he should be a Major League consultant."

25-year Legend Charlie Hough
