PrintFour-seamer, 2-seamer, change-up, curveball, slider, split-finger, forkball, knuckleball. I ran into this 1-page pdf file from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer from a few years back. You get photos of exactly how to grip the ball, and a description and diagram of how to throw it and what each pitch does. It definitely cleared up some questions for me ... maybe for you, too?

"Cut" refers to counter-clockwise spin on the ball (from a right-hander) -- spinning the ball off your middle finger as opposed to your index finger, which would be "curve". A cutter is a fastball with slider-like spin.
