Wikipedia

  1. submarine pitch

    In baseball, a submarine is a pitch in which the ball is released often just above the ground, but not underhanded, with the torso bent at a right angle, and shoulders tilted so severely that they rotate around a nearly horizontal axis. This is in stark contrast to the underhand softball pitch in which the torso remains upright, the shoulders are level, and the hips do not rotate.

  1. submarine pitch

    In baseball, a submarine pitch refers to a type of delivery in which the pitcher releases the ball underarm, with the arm extended below knee level, in a dropping-down motion. This unusual pitching style causes the ball to move in a deceptive manner, making it difficult for the batter to anticipate and hit. It's called "submarine" because the arm motion is similar to a submarine's periscope dropping down below the water.
