Actually, that isn’t an Eephus, which is thrown overhand from the regular position. (It looks like an overhand version of a typical high arc softball pitch.)

Damn, that would be the only pitch I could hit. Kind of like those lobbed softball games as a kid.

10/10 for originalty. Maybe it’s called a ‘loop ball’?

Completely legal, and something that’s been used occasionally in major league baseball since the 1930s. Americans call it the Eephus pitch.
