Figure 12. Depiction of Pitching styles. Pitching style is termed according to the angle of inclination of the trunk and the forearm of the throwing arm. The leftmost image shows a pitcher sideflexing his trunk toward the contralateral (to the throwing arm) side, and an almost vertically placed forearm at release. This throwing style is termed 'overhand'. The third image shows a thrower standing erect with an almost horizontally placed forearm, this is termed 'sidearm' throwing. The second image shows a thrower with only a small amount of contralateral sideflexion and a forearm inclined between the extremes shown in sidearm and overhand throwing, this is termed 'three-quarter' throwing. The right-most image shows a thrower displaying ipsilateral trunk sideflexion, and a lesser amount of arm abduction than the first three images, this is termed 'submarine' throwing.
