Daisuke Matsuzaka, who probably going to be posted this off-season has got one and a 98 MPH fastball. But it is weird pitch that "the ball comes at the hitter looking like a hanging curve and then takes a hard, flat turn away from a right-handed batter"

 

Here is some video of a high school kid throwing, not the best view, but you can see the movement.

Anyone here of it?

There's a young Japanese gyroballer who said he was interested in playing for the White Sox before this season, right after we signed Iguchi.

 

According to Wikipedia, Greg Maddux throws a gyroball.

its the shooto, the pitch that Mr Baseball cant hit.

It's pronounced yeehro-ball.
