It is thrown with a spiral-like spin, so that there is no Magnus force on the ball as it arrives at home plate.[1] The gyroball is sometimes confused with the shuuto, another pitch used in Japan.

I also have http://brokenbat.org/player/85003 who only pitches a Circle Changeup every single pitch. That's the only pitch he knows how to do lol. Surprised he is still a good 3 ERA P. I don't count his fastball because his fastball is a slow ball really (only clocks at 88 MPH)
