from the stretch
from the stretch
In baseball, pitching without a wind-up. As a pitcher can more quickly throw the ball without winding up first, this is typically done when there are one or more baserunners who could steal a base. I'm not worried if their first batter gets on—this pitcher is great from the stretch.
