Update to this post: I’m trying to actively figure out whose windup they gave him.

See, they’ve been doing this for a while now. Most famously, Volo has Hisashi Iwakuma’s extremely recognizable windup, but Hop throws like Hideo Nomo and Kabu throws like Choji Murata.

Larry has more of a sidearm throw, which is an uncommon delivery in baseball. You can see it in action here:

I also made a slowed-down version to really emphasize it:

This is definitely someone’s windup specifically. I just haven’t identified whose yet. Considering how much I love baseball, I’m really happy to see Game Freak having fun with this and sneaking pitchers’ windups into the games now that they have the capability to do it.
