Every other pitcher I have seen, including when I was playing as a teenager, had the momentum of his body moving towards home plate when delivering a pitch. Walter is the only exception to this.
I have always wondered about the physics of it: Propelling your body towards the plate when throwing (think Koufax or Gibson) vs. bracing your back foot hard against the rubber and throwing while pushing back against it.
