Can't really see the actual pitches... are they the same or different pitches?

4 different deliveries overlayed - they are highlighting how he changes up his timing.

The first three are all breaking balls. Can't really tell on the fourth.

It's about his delivery not the pitch.

I was wondering bc if he's not throwing all pitches from each delivery then that's tipping. Higher up he goes, it would get caught if that's the case. If he's throwing all pitches from each delivery, that certainly makes him deceptive

He can throw any of his pitches using any of those deliveries. That’s the point.

Most likely, but that doesn't really show that. It would have to be 3 different overlays for each pitch.

I’ve seen him throw a fastball in different pin point locations using 4-5 different delivery methods. Deception is his strength. He also should mix in that curveball more as he has a good to great one. He has a very good change up as well. He has a very good three pitch mix imo with extremely good deception. I think he will be a very good MLB starter.

That's why I pointed out that the first three are all breaking balls. Same pitch with three different delivery methods. Unfortunately, you can't tell what type of pitch he throws on the fourth one.

My favorite pitching ninja overlay was all of the strike out pitches in one game delivered at the same time. Not sure if that was Ethan Small, but I think it was.
