How do you pitch from the stretch?
With runners on base, pitchers work from the set position and quicken the delivery, some with a slide step, so runners get less of a jump. The videos show the stretch and the slide step.
What it looks like: A slow delivery with runners on base, or a pitcher who loses the strike zone once a runner is on.
