It is completely LEGAL to use a different motion from pitch to pitch or batter to batter. You see this all the time, say you have a LH submarine style pitcher, oftentimes in MLB he will use the submarine motion when pitching to a LH batter, but will change to a 3/4 delivery when a RH batter comes up.

Another example is many times a pitcher will "drop down" to change the batter's view of the release. Both of these are perfectly legal examples of changing styles throughout the game. Balking these would be plain ridiculous.
