| Post subject: | Gyroball... |
I was looking at the wikipedia page, and this is what it said for some of the people who might throw it (Tezuka is a Japanese scientist who studies the gyroball): Possibilities * Daisuke Matsuzaka: Most familiar with the gyro agree he does not throw the pitch. Matsuzaka has stated that he can throw the gyroball, however cannot do so on a consistent basis. * C.J. Wilson: He has claimed that he throws the gyroball. However, just as his two-seam ball, it is sometimes very similar to a slider or sinker in spite of his adoption of Tezuka's theory; he can not control it. He guesses because the gyro axle is inclined in irregularity. But while trying to learn the gyro, Wilson developed a new hybrid pitch, which he calls the Cork. The Cork, described by Wilson, is a "rising cut fastball." He uses this as his out pitch against left-handed hitters. * Hideo Nomo: Tezuka thinks that his fastball is probably a gyroball. * Jered Weaver: His fastball is considered the four-seam gyro. * Pedro MartÃnez: Tezuka thinks he throws it accidentally. * Roger Clemens: Kazuo Matsui reckons he may throw it because his fastball has a gyroball-like rotation. Going back to C.J. Wilson, what would we put in the game as his "rising cut fastball?" Would we just make it a cutter with more break, or what? More later... |

 that coming from a yankees fan...but its interesting how apparently guys like jered weaver apparently throw one. its been said that they themselves don't really know they throw it (excepting dice-k maybe and CJ), and that some kids throw it before their pitching motions are changed by coaches. |
