i sense a little sarcasm.... lol.. Sooooo, how many people throw a screwball?? Alot more huh? I threw a screwball, it has the same movement, not as much, but the same movement.. I'm sure there is plenty more people who throw a "gyroball" that aren't in the majors. Its pretty much reversing a curveball..  you can call this "magic" pitch a gyroball, i will argue its a screwball with a different name, and it all works out!! haha

Ya i herd its definatly not easy, so odds are that was not a text book gyroball, probbly just some crazy junk that you think is a gyro

are you serious?? I don't think its a gyroball, I said it is a screwball... And its maybe 60 mph, and not as much break.. BUTTT it has the same movement.. And you hit me right on the ball.. I was a junker!!!:D

kinda not really sarcastic, i believe u did throw a screwball, i just think that because he puts more velocity on it, which gives quicker spin, it has more movement, i agree gyroball is just another name for screwball

haha gyro ball is kinda like lloyd christmas and girls.. "I'd say more like one in a million..." Lloyd- "SO YOUR SAYING THERE IS A CHANCE!!"... but a screwball is a little better known

haha exactly

it was developed by a Japanese scientist through experiments (I'm not lying) and is thrown with the hand motion like throwing a football. And apparently it is supposed to break 18 inches right to left in the last 3 feet but Idk if i believe it does that though

o ya well i devolped a pitch where u throw the ball extremly slow, which starts about a foot over the batters head, and u use a slow arm motion, and u let gravity do the rest of the work, unhittable

Yea so has every other slow-pitch softball pitcher haha

probably starts inches from the ground, rises (up and in to righ-handers i might add), then drops (down and away from the right_hander), and finally makes some sort of loop just before going into the catchers glove. id probably throw it every time if i knew how

its physically impossible for a ball to rise what it does it has the same trajectory as a fast ball but it is thrown like a football so it has a slider/cut fastball spin to it so it goes straight but cuts and falls off the table. http://youtube.com/watch?v=lFvNWDKAxAs

thats exactly what I said a little bit before you

he has been looking pretty good in spring training

oh my bad i didnt see your post...

I think the "Gyro ball" is a bunch of crap.

idk, i'm starting to believe it may be true, but i still think he's just very good at throwing a screwball and calls it a gyroball

I agree. There aren't gonna be any "new" pitches coming out now. Baseball has been around too long.

this wouldn't happen to be the sparkel ball would it?

sounds like the eephus pitch?

no ...knights4 knows what im talkin bout..the sparkel ball...its way out of your league

i believe in the gyro ball, although i thinnk its a modified screw ball,i think it has been thrown before but just called a screw ball but now it has a name. congratulations mlb.

a gyroball is basically from pronating like crazy, along with special spin put on the ball with the thumb, its a real pitch, very hard to throw
