We don't get a lot of variation up here on the tundra, most of our issues are feet related. But, many moons ago, I did come across a young lady, transplanted from the west coast, who did deliver a few changeups in the described manner. I didn't call the first one - I was still in "What the heck did she just do? mode - but I called the second one. After that, she complied - forcing me to believe that she had been taught to throw it illegally until she was forced to throw it legally.
