Gyroball ability gives the pitcher's 4SFB a football-like spin and slight downward movement. The official description says "The pitched ball spins like a gyroscope, making the ball appear to be moving faster".

The characteristics of the pitch (late life and slight drop near the plate) suggest that the in-game 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].

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.
