maggsmaggs Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 http://www.robneyer.com/book_04_gyroball.html Daisuke Matsuzaka, who probably going to be posted this off-season has got one and a 98 MPH fastball. But it is weird pitch that "the ball comes at the hitter looking like a hanging curve and then takes a hard, flat turn away from a right-handed batter" Here is some video of a high school kid throwing, not the best view, but you can see the movement. http://static.baseballtoaster.com/blogs/th...video/gyro1.mov Anyone here of it?

Antonio Osuna Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 There's a young Japanese gyroballer who said he was interested in playing for the White Sox before this season, right after we signed Iguchi. According to Wikipedia, Greg Maddux throws a gyroball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
