A "Gyro Ball" is supposedly a new pitching style that gyrates the baseball while thrown. There is debate over whether this is a "new" type of pitch or not. It was reportedly used by Daisuke at the 2006 World Baseball Classic.

hmm would be nice to have real high speed footage and a straight on angle to see the movement better

Yes Farmerbuzz, this looks totally normal to me. The random looking direction of the ball stitching is more from framerate than anything I would guess. No dead bird, no vote
