Pitch is extreme, and Push is extreme. Punch is anything in-between. It's tough to move the Release Point as close to the ball as a someone using a Snap Release/Pitch Elbow. But, the Hitter can move it to an earlier or later point to manipulate speed and trajectory. If you wait as long as possible, you better have some fast twitch muscle fibers.
One man's trash is another's treasure. You have no idea how valuable this rookie just found your post and in particular those first two sentences. What an eye opener for me!
Thanks YodasLuke,
