"The pitched ball spins like a gyroscope, making the ball appear to be moving faster"
Description
Gyroball ability gives the pitcher's 4SFB a football-like spin and slight downward movement.
The characteristics of the pitch (late life and slight drop near the plate) suggest that the depicted gyroball is of the four-seam variety. The on-screen animation also shows four seams rotating parallel to the ground, fitting the definition of a four-seam gyroball [1].
Acquisition
The Gyroball ability can be acquired at random in the following events:
- Using the Challenge card on Annie at the amusement park
- Using the Challenge card on Becky for the Valentine's Date in the third year
- On Sarah's random event in which she gets a silver award at the photo contest.
