Shin Soo-Ji, a rhythmic gymnast, threw the opening pitch at a baseball game in Seoul, South Korea, a few days ago. Her style may not have been very orthodox, but it was certainly eye-catching!
I'd like to see the major names in US baseball pitching try that wind-up . . .

WOW,
I'm impressed.
I'm not gona say that move took "balls".
Cause, actually it was possible because of the Lack of "balls"
Can't...stop...hitting...replay.
Just saying with that much windup even I could get a good jump on a steal of second!
Makes my back and hip ache just watching it...over and over and over again.

I could marry that gal from here.
She makes it look so easy.
My hips, knees, leg, arms & etc say it's not. At least not at my age..
:P
I know (mathematically speaking), 3/5's of 5/8's of stuff-all about EVERYTHING relating to Baseball, except,- the ball is thrown at the Batter, who tries to hit it, and if successful, runs like a mad thing to each 'safe' base.
Exactly like Cricket!.
But with fewer 'bases'.
The rest is merely window dressing.
Hence my observations on this young lady's pitching, (I was aware of that term), the ball at the batter.
Rather well done, though her gymnastics may have been a bit óff-puttíng', her end result was excellent.
In baseball, it could be said that she may have a place.
Not so in Cricket.
Definitely not.
Despite her demonstrated 'skill' of delivery, though awkward in appearance,' this bowler held the ball, before delivery, in a most incorrect hold.
Not so in Cricket.
I can't even imagine my hip being that flexible.
