Notes on Patsy Flaherty from SABR Bio Project

Flaherty was the most famous of the early practitioners of the no-wind-up, “quick pitch” delivery in which he returned the ball to the catcher as soon as he received it in an attempt deceive the hitter and disrupt his timing. He also had excellent control for a lefty and was very good at holding runners on base “probably the best there ever was in this respect.” It was said Flaherty would walk batters on purpose just for the fun of picking them off.
It is interesting to note that Flaherty had a balk in today's game. 
In the 1950s, Casey Stengel was managing two Yankee pitchers, Bob Turley and Don Larsen, who also pitched with a no-windup delivery. This caused Casey to recall facing Flaherty more than 50 years earlier. He described his pitching this way, “He took no windup and you never knew when he was going to throw the ball. A master of quick pitches. There was no rule forcing pitchers to come to a full stop. Patsy picks up the ball and you hear the umpire holler strike. The quick, no-windup pitch is called a Patsy Flaherty. As I was digging in, I had no idea the man was ready to pitch.”
