That reporter had to get Tommy John surgery after this. Lmfao this is so funny watching like 12 years later lol

Is the gyroball the same thing as the sweeper or the slutter (slider-cutter hybrid)?

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.

Jerry is that a Ggggyroooball lol

1:54 "this so called gyroball is nothing more than a really good screwball." Me: oh is that all? Huh.

This the real reason Godzilla destroys Japan periodically.

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.

This video is a time machine

First in fucking 12 fucking years

GYRO!

"From the batter's perspective, it looks like the ball is falling--but it's actually rising." If you could actually throw a riser, that might be true.

My slider looks exactly like this but with nasty slider bite

the seemuhration was amazing

It took me 10 years to master this Gyroball I have a video throwing it at 960fps super slow motion ⚾

Thanks, Now i can fight the 23rd president of USA

golden spin rotation ?

Lesson 3 Believe in the spin

Goro and sawamura

Easy on the arm too good pitch for little league

This still hasn’t made it to the league

Watch ace no diamond

Haha cnn

Ah yes, Shigeno Goro's signature pitch.

Okay but can we talk about how they talking about a baseball that will most likely never be in the mlb, instead of talking about the tiger attack, 2 airmen killed in airport attack, at least 100 dead Fromm fighting Congo, and 2 u.s. soldiers killed by a bomb!!! 😂

Pitching coach in the minors had us throw this all the time in place of the changeup

The release and spiral-type spin of a gyroball is similar to a slider. Batters have been known to identify the slider pitch coming towards them by the "circle" in the center of the ball which represents the axis of the spiral spin which differs from a fastball's backspin or a curveball's overspin where the axis of the spin is perpendicular to the direction of flight rather than a slider where the spin's axis is more parallel with the flight's direction. It appears that the gyroball is actually an optical illusion. Johnny Sain invented his "Sain Spinner" as a tool to demonstrate how pitches spin with a given release ruclips.net/video/rZY6_VSl8W0/видео.html.

My gyro comes with a soda.

ochinchin

Wow also it’s impossible to rise also what a more colorful way to destroy your arm

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.

So a rise ball ...

No, the ball is NOT "actually rising". 🙄 Not even the ultra-brilliant minds of Japan have figured out a way to literally defy physics and gravity. It's an illusion. Period.

James you better have run with that co-host's compliment!

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

2:22 "we slowed it down to save you the embarrassment of watching that in full speed"

Basically a slider

1:20 U.S warns of penalties unless Iran stops. Iran stop

literly i can only focus on the people dying

awesome

Chris sale could throw one of these

novice lol you mean someone who has not touch a ball in his life not even his own balls

well this aged like shit the guy was awful in the mlb

You're an idiot if you think a gyro is a screwball. Its more like an improved running fastball. Screwball is the mirror of slider, flip Daisuke's pitch and it would look like a breaking cutter.

1:15 don’t open your stance, step towards the pitcher

goro is that people.

666

Screwball, sinker and curve balls. Is this new?

ITS NOT A GYRO BALL, ITS A MATZA BALL....😆😆😆

What the heck is this?Just admit that’s a terrible slider pitch or what,don’t make things complicated,it doesn’t make you sound better

I hear players say that throwing the baseball 105 mph also tends to make it harder to hit.
