Is the slip pitch a legal pitch?

Check this thread I posted about a year ago. If you page far enough into it, you'll see the actual pitch I was describing in the initial post. ETA: Video is on p. 2.

Fell Victim to the Chinese Change Up

Disclaimer: I'm not a pitcher's parent, so this was new to me. We were at a TB tournament in FL, HIgh School Division. Pitcher on the other team (who is a 2023!) threw the craziest pitch I've ever seen. Come to find out it's called the Chinese Change Up. Our batter was starting to catch on...

Thanks, I'm not sure if it was the thread I saw but I got the answers I needed!

What's interesting is that a pitcher can simply do a slingshot pitch and that's perfectly legal.

I wonder if that alone would be off-putting enough to get a K

Or do a whole other rotation for some weird change up...lol

When I pitched in HS I would go back and forth between windmill and slingshot. It definitely helped mess with batters’ timing. I was not a flamethrower so this definitely helped.

every pitcher should start doing it and see if any umpire notices?!
