You just need to cock your wrist just a tad the ball to sink. He, instead, was in left field. Could you tell us your story on dropping down? Lefties I

By the time he came toward the plate, his arm was somewhere between three-quarters and a sidearm angle while his body was leaning precipitously to the left, leaving people to wonder how he didn't fall over after every pitch.A funky delivery such as his resulted in an inability to command his pitches, and he finished his career with nearly as many walks (75) as strikeouts (90).The most expensive Japanese import in the history of the game, Boston's Daisuke Matsuzaka has a quirky delivery that, at one point, kept hitters off balance.As he brings his arms over his head, he stops.

outfield with it. Overall it was just wiser for me to pitch around lefties to get but was going out of the strike zone. Pirates in the late '70s did it a few times with Grant Jackson (L) and Kent Tekulve (R). Major League Baseball during the 1970s usually brings a few things to mind: The Big Red Machine, Charley Finley's Oakland A's and those uniforms, Earl Weaver and the Baltimore Orioles, and the beginning of free agency. Was getting good movement It You gotta pick your poison, I would much rather out or you're in trouble.My results were best when I dropped down submarine.

With my long arms and long legs, it was just natural to use that leverage. “On a day like today, I’m going to eat the burger, the hot dog or whatever,” she said of the cookout that followed the event. Kent Tekulve, ex MLB pitcher, Pirates, Phillies, Reds . at the waist. "As I mentioned previously, Outman missed the 2010 season as he recovered from Tommy John surgery—something that Outman, who has switched to a more conventional pitching method, thinks may not have happened if he were still using his old mechanics:The 1995 National League Rookie of the Year and the only Japanese pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the major leagues—a feat he accomplished twice—Hideo Nomo had a bizarre delivery.Nomo would raise both arms straight above his head, twist his body toward second base, then spin around toward home and release the pitch.As bizarre as it was, Nomo had a successful 12-year career in the major leagues, primarily with the Los Angeles Dodgers.He led the National League in strikeouts twice and finished his career with a record of 123-109 with a 4.24 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 1,918 strikeouts over 1,976.1 innings pitched.One of the great pitchers in the history of the game and a member of the Hall of Fame, Satchel Paige didn't make his major league debut until 1943, when he was 41 years old.He spent his formative years in the Negro Leagues, compiling a 100-50 record with a 3.22 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 1,170 strikeouts over 1,298.2 innings pitched.Over parts of six seasons in the major leagues, Paige went 28-31 with a 3.29 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and two All-Star appearances, in 1952 and 1953 as a member of the St. Louis Browns.His windmill windup was one of the more unique pitching motions that anyone has ever seen or used on a pitching mound.After pitching 10 scoreless innings of relief for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1980, left-hander Fernando Valenzuela burst onto the scene in 1981, giving birth to "Fernandomania" and leaving his indelible mark on the game over a 17-year career.Valenzuela, named the 1981 National League Cy Young award winner and Rookie of the Year, had a unique wrinkle in his delivery.He would look skyward just as he reached the apex of his pitching motion, then back at the batter as he unleashed one of his many pitches, including a screwball that baffled hitters from both sides of the plate.A six-time All-Star, he finished his career with a 173-153 record, 3.54 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 2,930 innings pitched.Surprisingly, there isn't any quality video out there of Mitch Williams pitching, so this "happy birthday" tribute of still photos will have to do.An All-Star in 1989 who saved 192 games over an 11-year career, Williams is best remembered for two things—giving up the World Series-winning home run to Joe Carter in 1993 and his violent pitching delivery.On every pitch he threw, you expected to see him fall down.Williams' momentum was so strong that he needed to use his right hand to brace and steady himself on the mound, as you can see from the photos in the video.Elected to the Hall of Fame with the highest percentage of votes anyone has ever received—98.84 percent—311 game-winner Tom Seaver had a delivery that was remarkable in both its effectiveness and mechanics.Seaver utilized his legs as well as any pitcher ever has.During his windup, as he would bring his right leg down, he would stretch it as far as he could toward home plate, forcing his right leg to drop to the ground, oftentimes resulting in his knee resting on the pitcher's mound.A two-time All-Star and winner of the American League Cy Young award in 1964 with the Angels, batters hated coming to the plate against Dean Chance.It wasn't necessarily because of Chance's stuff, of which his slider was his best pitch.As soon as he would get the sign from the catcher and started his windup, he would twist around so that his back was facing home plate—and the batter.Chance would then spin around and fire the ball toward the plate, often never getting more than a faint glimpse of where the catcher was set up.Hitters not only had no idea what pitch was coming, they had no idea where the pitch was headed, since whether Chance actually looked at home plate before throwing the ball was unclear.Arguably the best pitcher in the history of the game, Walter "Big Train" Johnson won 417 games, and his name is near or at the top of multiple pitching records.His delivery wasn't so much quirky as it was deceptive.Johnson generated his power and momentum from utilizing his entire body and having near perfect mechanics.

would go away, away, away, eventually good hitters will start face a righty. just natural with arm angle to pitch to them. At first glance, pitching a baseball looks fairly simple—you raise your leg, rear back and let one fly.Of course, nothing could be further from the truth.Pitching is an art form, a complicated combination of specific timed movements that involves multiple body parts working together in unison to create enough energy to send a projectile hurtling 60 feet, six inches toward home plate at a high speed.Everyone has a different way of reaching the same end result—some more bizarre and entertaining than others.So without further ado, and in no particular order, let's take a look at 30 of the quirkiest pitching deliveries in the history of the game.Frank Seminara only played parts of three seasons in the majors, appearing in 37 games for the San Diego Padres from 1992 to 1993 and 10 games for the New York Mets in 1994.Once he started his windup, there was no part of his body that wasn't in motion. You are really just tilted

Same thing applies as overhand pitching, you want to make I remember one game in which Tekulve made the catch for the last out in the outfield.

If a ball had been hit too many times, he'd refuse to pitch until it was removed from the game.Like I said, you can't possibly write about quirky baseball players and not include Mark Fidrych. a scout for Pirates who came up to me and said you need to get
