  • is that necessarily a gyroball?
  • Since he is one of the few pitchers with actually being credited with the ability to pitch it, I would say, if thats not it, it probably doesnt exist. Here are a few articles for you on the gyroball pitch:

  • I think this video made the rounds before on the site, and the consensus out there is that he actually doesn't throw the pitch, just wishes he could. I guess we'll see in april.

  • Its tough to tell from the video, but the grip looks to be somewhere between a two seem fastball and a curveball. Its got a filthy drop, so whatever you want to call it, its going to be pretty powerful in the Majors.
