pitching motion
Arm's delivery arc
The pitching motion is the sequence of movements a baseball pitcher makes when throwing the ball—the windup, leg lift, stride, arm action, and follow-through considered as a unified act.
The term appears in rules discussions and biomechanical analysis: His pitching motion puts strain on his elbow.
A balk occurs when a pitcher interrupts his pitching motion illegally.
