That's a change-up pitch.
The technique used in baseball to throw the ball in a high arc towards the batter, known as a "baseball lob," is called a "lofted pitch."
They are saying it was by SF Giant Barry Zito on 18 Aug 2012 against the Padres. The ball rolled off his fingertips high in the arc, floated way up high, dropped short of the plate, then rolled very slowly across it.
To execute a successful baseball lob pitch, the pitcher should grip the ball with their fingertips, step back with their non-throwing foot, and release the ball with an underhand motion, aiming to have the ball arc high in the air towards the plate. This technique is often used to throw off the batter's timing and create a change of pace in the game.

In baseball, a lob is a pitch thrown with a slow, high arc. It differs from other types of pitches, like fastballs or curveballs, because it is meant to deceive the batter with its slower speed and higher trajectory. Lobs are often used to change the pace of the game and keep batters off balance.
The arc utilized for arc welding is low voltage high current discharge. The voltage required for maintaining an arc is less than for striking the arc. Voltage drops & current increases as the arc is developed. The voltage required to strike DC arc is about 50-55 V & for AC is 80-90 V.It is difficult to maintain the arc with voltage less than 14V or more than 40V.READ ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY BY B L THAREJA / AK THAREJA
An "eephus" pitch is a low velocity throw with a high arc, designed to trick the batter by disrupting his timing. Although the origin of the name "eephus" isn't definitively know it's suspected that it may be based on the Hebrew word "efes" meaning "nothing".
There was a bright electric arc flashing between the high voltage wires. The story arc continued across several episodes of the TV show.

In the book "Maniac Magee" by Jerry Spinelli, Grayson is a former minor league baseball player who lost his ability to throw his famous "stopball" pitch due to an injury. However, he can still throw a fastball, although it is not as effective as his signature pitch. The loss of his stopball pitch is a significant part of Grayson's character arc in the story.
The lob stat in baseball measures the number of times a pitcher throws the ball with a high arc. A high lob count can indicate that a pitcher is struggling with control or velocity, which can impact their performance by making it easier for batters to predict and hit the ball.
