[@etinyowaffles]

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.

[@TedJones107]

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

[@aljon5947]

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.

[@comradeicez2863]

Agree

[@danwhitehurst9592]

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.

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

The slider is not the same as the curve.

[@TedJones107]

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

[@ChEkAlOtIcH3]

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

[@chriscarver5789]

Worst thing you can do to your arm. Learn to locate your fastball, mix in a good slider and changeup. Pitching is all about command, not parlor tricks.

[@joshlynch5676]

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

[@Melthornal]

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.

The pitch does not rise, it gives the illusion of it rising, its a ball that aerodynamically flows pretty much straight. only dropping a very slight amount, different from the 4 seamer as it has a completely different flow and spin.

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)

It is actually possible for a baseball to rise upward in trajectory, but it is extremely rare and requires a ton of backspin.

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.

[@flippersbeast1036]

Is the gyroball related to the gyroball in Major anime

[@theCRIMSONtradition]

It's going to end up being exactly the same as the slider, no? A slider is thrown with the exact same type of spin, where the tight spin creates a "0" on the front side of the ball when the batter sees it coming towards the plate. The "gyro" shown here would have the exact same movement; tight, counter clockwise spin heading towards the batter, clockwise spin heading from the pitcher. Why would creating the same spin create a different effect on the baseball? I'm not sure I believe this.

[@MrCristianmunoz13]

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

[@clarkehamilton1293]

[@bladimirtarango8890]

[@RingoFreakingStarr]

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.

[@ahpyis4251]

@P1ST0NH0NDa you hold it like a 2 seam or 4 seam and then on release you cut through the inner part of the ball, 2 seam that you throw like a curve is a curve, gyroball - bullet spin, which you cant create by turning the ball forward to create topspin

[@poopandfishstix]

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

[@fiesta471]

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.

[@kirbykickfrans-sports7025]

That wwould be a great trainer for the knuckleball too because you can see spin easier.

[@americanIDOLfan11111]

Aj Kahl That's what he is saying.. you practice over and over until it has no spin.. and it's easier to see the ball spinning with the red and white ball.

[@xiGinger95]

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

[@crash1579]

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.

What if you throw the gyroballl with an actual Gyro?

[@Melthornal]

The science of the gyroball has actually been recently described and shown to work. However how they describe it in this video is wrong. For the gyroball to actually work you have to spin the ball so that an area with no seams is always pointed in the same direction, rotating around its axis. Whichever way this is facing, the ball will break towards. So if it is facing left, it goes left. Facing right, it goes right. This allows it to mimic other pitches, but with sharper break.

[@MeteoRush12]

[@devonhorn3184]

throwing sidearm is how you very badly fuck up your arm

[@lancer525]

After four shoulder separations and permanent tendonitis in my elbow from pitching sidearm for three years in HS, and three more in college, I completely agree with you. My coaches saw a lefty with a wicked curve ball, and that was that. Can't begin to count the number of times since then that I wished I'd asked them to put me at first base...

[@Kane-ib5sn]

The Gyroball is real: not because I said so; but because the aerodynamics make it so; for every cause, there is an effect and vice versa...this particular pitch will dart, depending upon where the seams interact with the airflow around the ball, as it travels toward the hitter in a spiral...its motion will be unique; never the same; but darting around its spiral trajectory...the knuckleball is real, and not imaginary either - so is the gyroball. It is the layman pitcher's knuckler...not unlike a spiral football. The grip is exact same as a four seam, the release is like a football - that is all you need to know...as per the guy who says it is a screwball...idiots who just don't grasp the aerodynamics of it.

[@daviemerim25]

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.

[@KingNast]

That sounds impossible. Where is it getting more energy to gain speed? It should always be decreasing in speed once it leaves the pitcher's hand

[@daviemerim25]

@@KingNast What happens is that fastballs use magnus force to keep travelling foward with little air resistance, while gyro fastballs use rifle effect to cancel air resistance, giving the illusion of gaining speed.
