How far sidearm?

Strange...but true!

Strange ... and definitely false.

Edited to add, for specificity: Perhaps the first sentence is scientifically true. But pitching and standing still are not the same motion, and it's completely natural for the wrist to be directly below the elbow when pitching - even if you film it and slow it down.
