One thing to note is the delivery did not have to be underhand. Tommy Bond was known for stretching the rule that the hand below the waist when delivering the ball. He used a low side arm movement that came just below the top of his belt. There were complaints he was releasing too high.

Velocity and pitch are not historically matched. The DB has no data no on it. They are just there to determine stuff. I am surprised with as bad as stuff in this year high velocities show up. The compensation is crappy individual pitch quality.
