This pitch isn't really all that complicated as they make it sound here. I had a friend who's used to go to this guy tezukus baseball camps in Japan way back as far as 2001 way before Matsuzaka even went to Boston. My friends dad was best friends with tezuka and was also my pitching coach. I learned this pitch at a young age and was taught that it had 2 purposes. Purpose 1 was to give the illusion of a breaking ball but never quite breaking. And purpose 2 was to kill the backspin on balls that had been hit by the batter on the lower section of the ball so you can cut down the distance the ball travels resulting in giving up less homeruns. Essentially with this pitch the hitter has to make solid contact with your pitch and earn there doubles and homeruns. Nothing more nothing less.

Could a righty throw it like a slider more so it has clockwise barrel roll?

Mike Krukow an ex mlb pitcher and broadcaster for the SF Giants has a great term for the gyro ball( which gives the illusion of a breaking ball that ends up not breaking)In reality it’s when someone hangs a slider. He calls it the cement mixer. It just spins and goes slow and straight. Usually it gets cranked by the batter. People. There are no new pitches. You’ve got a fastball; 4 seam, 2 seam and a cutter. One that goes right , left or straight. Pitches that look like a fast ball but fool you in being slower ( Chang up and split) sliders and curve balls; the same pitch with different amounts of break and speed. A screwball which isnt thrown anymore because a 2 seam change up or good split does the same thing. A knuckle ball that has no spin and breaks unpredictability. And an Ephus; a curve or lobbed pitch around 45-60 mph to throw off the batters timing and perception. That’s it. If anyone wants to mention a rising fastball that’s a 4 seam because it has the most backspin and doesn’t rise it just doesn’t sink on the downward path of the pitcher down the mound. It’s flat but appears to rise in relation to the mound slope.

Sir. If a pitch has pure barrel roll spin, it is not any of the pitches you described. Maybe a backward cutter

Throwing Gyroball= Tommy Jon Surgery

This should be called "Goroball"

This video is a time machine

I dont know but i think my arm will get fucked up if i practice this throw

It’s not a pitch worth making a new name for since we already have the term for a pitch with similar release,movement and spin which is “gyro slider”. Even Matsuzaka wont confirm it. The footage I saw of his “gyroball” vary so much, sometimes its like a cutter, gyro slider, sometimes it even has the movement of a changeup. It seems to me that it really is just Matsuzaka’s mistake slider, when he messes up the spin of the slider it can turn into so many different pitches. One thing for sure though is that its not a screwball. The motion is different for a screwball since its supposed to spin the other way around like a changeup or a gyro slider thats spinning counter-clockwise as a right handed pitcher.

We've been throwing risers with wiffle balls since we were kids. A low side arm delivery finishing with a wrist curl made that ball start low and finish eye high and outside.

“At least 100 killed in two days of fighting in Congo”

GYROBALL Z! The RPM of the ball in flight is OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAND!

Thats not a screwball, a screwball spins opposite of a curveball

Haha you can tell this was a while ago..."here the kids aspire to be the next matsusaka!" haha

No. The gyroball has a spin such that an area with no seams is always pointing in one direction. Curveballs, sliders, screwballs, et cetera all use the magnus effect to move a ball. Basically the ball is spinning with half the ball spinning backwards with motion of the air and the other half going against the air. This creates pressure difference and the ball moves. Having one area without any seams doesn't use the magnus effect, it gives the ball less turbulence and more break.

"day-skay matzuzaka"

that's how my ball spins ( like a bullet ) I'm not kidding

Is this a reference to the anime Majors??!?! If so, i loved that anime!

My elbow hurts after watching this video

James you better have run with that co-host's compliment!

My elbow hurts just watching this

It's basically a slider that hangs or they say, "rise"

Yea in softball it's a riseball the most nasty pitch ever

The pitcher cant even control the ball

Just watching this video makes my arm hurt.

also it's really obvious if they throwe the pitch and also throwing from the side like that will reck your arm

It's actually a changeup, but it breaks like a screwball.

Me and my best friend invented a pitch back in 1989 called the Dish. Its thrown with a release with the palm of your hand facing you ending like your holding a dish in your hand.

@bradleyr961

Basically just a weirdly thrown 12-6 curve then right?

The "gyroball" is what you get when there aren't enough interesting problems in the world to make a decent news story.

It certainly is a good watch.

Ah yes, Shigeno Goro's signature pitch.

@theCRIMSONtradition nah, a slider has a forward rotating spin whereas the gyro ball is rotating perpendicular to the plate.

@goatpunchtheater THANK you. finally, a sensible person that actually does research before talking nonsense about something they don't know.

Its a mixture of a changeup and a screw ball. It doesn't rise, it just falls too slowly for its speed. This isn't anything new, only adding the counter rotation to it to make it look like a curve/screw ball is what makes it so difficult to hit.

Don't ever quit your job James! Unless you want to open a gyro stand in the street corner.

It is actually possible for a baseball to rise upward in trajectory, but it is extremely rare and requires a ton of backspin. Check out this pitch: pitchfxDOTtexasleaguersDOTcom/pitcher/407911/?batters=A&count=22&pitches=FF&from=5%2F28%2F2011&to=5%2F28%2F2011. (In general you are right, though -- people really misunderstand the Magnus effect on pitching.)

a cutter is a fastball with more pressure on the middle finger to make it cut so pretty much nothing like this

The gyro is a dangerous pitch for people saying it doesn't rises it does but the purpose of the pitch is to catch them of guard so it rises slowly but has nasty fast break that goes down making it hard to hit

What kind of idiot would think that's fake?!

the way the gyroball is thrown is somewhat sidearm though, definitely lower than 3/4

i accidently did it when i was trying to teach myself how to throw a slider. its not a good pitch at all unless theres little spin and wind lol

It just looks like a slider and it doesn't break... It's incredibly hard to throw a round ball with perfect bullet like spin... Slider's are pretty much like this (hence the red dot hitters see) but there's still a little downward spin which is why it "slides" away and down b/c of the combination of sideward and downward spin...but I mean watch the footage in this video! The ball is traveling straight! It's nothing more than an illusion to the batter's expectation. & the other pitchers confused are shuutos which is a class for a pitch to move in the direction of the same side of the arm release (two seamer, sinker, screwball, circle change-up)

any pitch is going to put stress on the arm

All this pitch is and does is have the form and appearance of a slider but since it spins in a gyro motion it makes batters think the ball is rising but in reality it is dropping. You cannot really tell the effect of the pitch unless you are the batter and are looking right at it. From an angle it just looks like an ordinary pitch.

Looks good but wouldnt it put a lot of strain on the pitcher

@chadsexinton ...not for side arm pitchers, if you notice, nearly all side arm pitches start off rising from release point then dropping right before the plate....

A baseball with "football" or "bullet" spin goes straight. And then, usually, FAR.

'And what we can simurate" I AM DYING LMAO

I hate that people don't think the pitch is real or that it is a screwball or slider. They are blowing its effect out of proportion, but this pitch is just an illusion. If you release it just right, it will look as if there is an axis tilted downwards which creates the illusion of the ball sinking. Unfortunately this can only fool a batter but a couple times before they adjust. To get it right takes a weird kinda flick-like motion which has little room for error. It can work, but like an eephus, it is more a novelty or cool trick more than anything.

AWESOME!

yea, watch the Japanese anmime called, Majors. The main character only throws the gyro ball. So cool

Is the gyroball the same thing as the sweeper or the slutter (slider-cutter hybrid)?

the seemuhration was amazing

Not a screwball. Spinning the wrong way. Crappy curve is a better way to describe it, but in actuality it most closely resembles a flat slider. In college if we threw a slider and didn't keep our fingers on top it would sometimes "back up"...meaning instead of breaking a bit down and away (RHP to RH) it would stay up and stay straight. It's a mistake pitch. And it doesn't rise...it just doesn't sink as quickly as other breaking balls. You might get away with throwing it. Once.

This is a Jojo Reference?

its physically impossible unless u throw sidearm, its simple physics if u throw overhand and u r snapping downward with ur wrist all ur force is going forward as well as downward making the ball sink downward

The gyroball is a type of 2 seam sinker fastball. Atleast, it sure like hell looks like one. It's most likely a changeup type of pitch off a submarine arm. Who knows what the hell it is.

throwing sidearm is how you very badly fuck up your arm

You did say the magnus effect comes no where close to matching the magnitude of gravity. That leaves some room to make it possible, which means it is possible. Is it ever going to happen by man? No, because no man is going to throw that hard. Possible, but physically impossible to be thrown by man.

it's not even close to being a screwball... a screwball cuts right in a righties case it doesn't rise.

1:24 did anyone notice how non-descript this news ticker is though? UNLESS IRAN STOPS! Stops what? lmao

@SubliminalEnt1 didn't you put a real team together?

Oh the irony of this video. Matsuzaka was a huge bust, and the pitch was never heard of in the majors.

Does anybody know what that song is at 2:20? It sounds familiar but where's it from again?

The truth about the gyroball is that it gains speed as it travels through the plate, giving the illusion of rising. The opposite happens if you throw with two seams.
