In baseball, "submarine" refers to a style of pitching characterized by an unconventional throwing motion where the pitcher releases the ball with an arm angle that is very low, often near or below the horizontal plane. This delivery is akin to the motion used by a submariner, hence the name. Submarine pitchers typically throw sidearm or underhand, and their unique arm angle can result in a variety of pitches with unusual movement.
