I finally got a look at the Padres new submariner from Japan. I'm not sure I've ever seen a Major League pitcher with less velocity in his repertoire. He reportedly throws six pitches. His fastball touches 81 and some of his junk doesn't even trip the radar gun. One curveball he threw that registered on the gun last night read 54 miles an hour.

Isn't that release point (i.e. so far below the belt) illegal?

No.
Look at some old Ted Abernathy film.

My bad. I always thought the release point was prescribed.
