That looks impossible to do and have good control :noidea

Is he still pitching? Or is that an old picture?

I'd like to see a still of Koufax at that same point in the delivery.

Here are a couple stills of Koufax. Not too far off as he reaches the same point before release.

It's an old pic alright. However, according to mlb.com he is pitching for the Yanks. Go here: http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/team/player.jsp?player_id=119827

They look pretty similar except Nomo looks to have more tilt to the side, and he also seems to have greater flexion at the elbow.

Sandy had a great 12 year career. Did he pitch this way in the early part of his career?

Trying to develop a discussion around whether or not his radical form allowed him to become a great pitcher for so long?
Thoughts?

do they both throw straight over the top?
