My 4th gyroballer now, named after the NFL star. I'm pretty sure I have made the most gyroballers in '08 now.
Cool.
He's not as good as David Wrong, but he is still very good.
Anyways, here are his stats:
Top Speed: 100 mph
CTRL: 138 C
STAM: 74 D
B/T: L/R
Tigers, #81

SHU 3
SCB 3
CCHG 5
ORIG 6 (Forkball, named CCHG for mindgames, Longball714 gets credit for the name.)

W/RISP 4
VS. LH Batter 4
Poise 4
Gd Low Pitch
Dr. K
Gyroball

Go to my Photobucket account to check him out.
Btw, I'm focusing on fielders for a while now, Apple4960 and I are making our own arrange team.
Feel free to rate him, give me tips, whatever.

Great player. Love the CCGH/FORK mindgame. Only real weakness is lack of "strong finsher"

Yeah, i've never done a success pitcher (i've only made one lousy catcher!) but in 07, i felt that strong finisher was better for closers and the back end of the pen, and Dr. K was better for starters and the front end.

he doesn't have the abilities and stamina of Wrong, but he has a better variety of pitches.

Yeah. But one or two good pitches are fine on a closer. He only pitches an inning or two, so he doesn't have to keep hitters guessing or anything.

Good point. The game won't let you have two closers, though (at least 07 didn't) so i guess you just use one as a set-up?

7/10. He doesn't need quite as many pitches, and a closer really needs strong finisher.

8/10, either you want a high or a low control, and in the middle is a slight downgrade. still, I know it's hard to get good cores and an ORIG and Gyro.

getting Gd Low Pitch from SoP was a waste. (1), you can get it from a game, (2), you can buy it for points.

Other than that, very nice job. He would be dominant in MLB, especially with the double CCHG (thanks for the credit, btw). Next time, you can call it a pitch from a different direction and your friends will be like, "What the f***, that shuuto just dropped!" :lol:
