Both are illegal pitches because the pitcher did not meet the requirements of Rule 6-1-1 parts a and b:
a. "... with the hands separated."
b. "... the pitcher shall take (or simulate taking) a signal from the catcher."
This would not be a quick pitch because the batter is ready.
Rule citations are NFHS.
