Feliciano.

I'm openly, totally pro-sidewinders. If I ever pitch in a baseball game again, I actually have much more movement and speed sidearmed, and I always wished my Little League coaches would have let me do it.

iirc, every now and again, to the consternation of all involved, save perhaps the batter who was more often that not just awarded a ball, ollie p would occasionally and inexplicably drop down to the lower arm angle.

Feliciano is more of a 3/4 guy, no?

[Fman99]

Hideo Nomo could sling it that way.

[Edgy MD]

Clontz was a real pain for bullpen coaches.

Feliciano's gotten lower every year it seems
