The kid has a natural ease to his motion that  I love.  Nothing contrived.  I love the Sidd Finch comparison.  Here's Bob Feller in a similar position. (more on that below)

However...I think he does have a slight trigger at the start of his motion.  Before his front leg moves up, I think his hands move DOWN. Most pitchers have an up then down move with the hands...his is just down.  I think it is slight, but there.  It is a very simple move.
The Sidd Finch move is really unusual only in today's baseball world. The long reach and high leg was  a natural move in the "ancient" baseball world.  It was a kid throwing rocks move.  A few guys you may have heard of have used a similar move.
