sidearming
Pitching arm sideways
Sidearming is throwing with a lateral arm motion, the hand sweeping roughly parallel to the ground rather than coming over the top.
Baseball pitchers who sidearm release the ball from near the hip, creating unusual movement.
The technique extends to any throw: He was sidearming rocks across the pond.
The motion can be gentler on the shoulder but harder to control.
