Allthough the mechanics are different, the end result(s) look Nomo'esque to me. Weither he is "the real deal" or not will only be seen in the MLB stage. I can say the video provided showed me nothing out of the ordinary, or anything 'special' per see.. Just some highlights.

Not much of a fastball unless my calculations are wrong.

If the ball was like the Delorian, it would be going just fast enough to be able to go Back to the Future

Not much of a fastball unless my calculations are wrong.

I was told it calculated to about 90mph, which I guess isn't that impressive. However, with the speed (or lack there-of) of his curve must make it look a little better.

EDIT: I like this video of him better

I calculated 85-88 based on the radar gun showing 138-142 km/hr most of the time. I suppose getting a Japanese Barry Zito for half the cost of the actual Barry Zito is a good deal.
