The first player to give his catcher and outfielders signs as to the kind of ball he was about to pitch was Harry Wright, when he was change pitcher for the famous Red Stockings, of Cincinnati, in 1870. he worked the fast and slow ball, and would always let his catcher and outfielders know when he was going to toss a good one over the plate.
