A "quick pitch" is "one made with obvious intent to catch a better off balance." I don't read that in the scenario presented.
And, I fail to see any violation of the "windup motion" (or any requiremtn to perform any "motion" while in the windup position).
Based on what's presented, I'd judge this to be a legal pitch, strike three, batter out, no run scores.
