The Red Sox signed a Japanese pitcher today who says he can throw a “gyro ball”. Real or hype?

I actually saw a feature on CBS news about the Gyroball. This was before the season was over, and before most of us had heard of Matsuzaka. The reporter actually interviewed a scientist in Japan who is given credit for inventing the pitch. He used physics just for a baseball pitch. The reporter, using footage of the pitch, interviewed Al Leiter, who was honest, and said “I threw one of these for 19 years, it’s a cut fastball, that’s all”.

I think it’s a lot of hype. He will be a solid pitcher, maybe have a great first half or first year, but hitters will figure him out. Also, Matsuzaka may be like Nomo. They both threw a tremendous amount of pitches in Japan. Nomo had a few good years, then tailed off. I think Matsuzaka will do the same.
