Sorry to get off topic but what pitch is this?
Looks just like my DD's change up.
Change-up that breaks to the outside corner. I'm sure it's a tough one for hitters.
A batter's worst nightmare.
(I'll try to dig up the classic pitch Gascoigne threw for the K during the WCWS final in '13.)

Maybe I'm mistaken but this is the pitch and movement Sluggers said couldn't be done and still be legal. And yet here it is.

Please just name one great current pitcher you think does not use a brush move on full speed pitches. The CU is the one exception where I see brush diminished or eliminated, but then again you are trying to scrub speed on that pitch so it makes sense.
Just one. Name one and I will gladly change my opinion to "brush interference is a style not an absolute". But for God's sake, at least acknowledge that you see that it is very effective for some great pitchers so it could not be that bad.
and it is not a full stop, it is a fluid motion, which is why you think you see Ueno's arm away from her body. It happens so fast and is so fluid that it looks like the arm is not in contact but the slow mo does not lie.

It never ceases to amaze me just how stubborn and blind some people can be.
Of course not, the change-up as JJ notes is a clear exception for most pitchers. In fact DD's PC says you want no brush on CU to take out the whip which creates a large part of the velocity.
DD hasn't learned a screw yet but my guess is there is little or no brush on screw as well but that's just my guess.
I don't think that's true with all change-ups. I'm having success with one of my pitchers throwing a knuckle change just like she does her fastball. Catching for her I see her really selling it as it looks just like her fastball delivery, brush and all.
