The Secret of the Demon Miracle Pitch was published in 2001 by Ryutaro Himeno, a Japanese computer scientist.There is a new type of baseball pitch called the gyroball.The gyroball is a pitch that is thrown so that at the last moment the ball drops down and away from the plate, making it almost impossible to hit.It is not possible to throw a perfect gyroball.
Step 1: It's a good idea to grasp the ball.
The ball should be griped like a four-seam fast ball.The middle fingers should be placed an inch apart.Put your thumb on the other side of the ball.
Step 2: The ball should be held gently.
You should hold the ball firmly, but not too tight.
Step 3: You should keep your wrist loose.
The wrist needs to be able to snap quickly if it is stiff.
Step 4: Understand the motion.
The pitcher needs to shift weight in order to gain traction for the pitch.The dominant leg will step back before sweeping across the body as the hands come up and down in preparation for the throw.You might want to look up video that shows a standard pitch before you try it.
Step 5: Stand with your feet apart.
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
Step 6: Take a step back.
With the same foot as your pitching hand, take a small step backwards.Your stride hand is your pitching hand.Bring your hand and glove to your head as you do that.
Step 7: Put your leg up.
To bend the knee as it rises parallel to the ground, bring your stride leg up and over across your body.If you want to improve balance, keep your back knee bent.
Step 8: You should position your hips.
Make sure your hips are facing in the same direction.If you are throwing with your right hand, your hips will move to the left.If you are throwing with your left hand, your hips will move to the right.
Step 9: Lunge forward.
If you lunge forward with your stride leg, you will hit the target.
Step 10: Take your arm back.
Pull your pitch arm behind you as you lunge forward.Pull your shoulder toward the target with your glove hand.The arm should be turned clockwise behind you.A circular motion is what your arm should be making.
Step 11: Practice multiple times.
Hip and shoulder unison is emphasized in The Secret of the Demon Miracle Pitch.Before throwing a ball, practice the unwind motion.
Step 12: Make sure your arm is straight.
Remove your arm from the body.After you have pulled the arm back, move your arm forward and away from the body with your palm facing third base for a right-handed pitcher and first baseman.The back of your hand will face you because the pitching arm will come forward and down.
Step 13: You should twist your arm.
Make sure that the palm of your hand is away from you.The side-over-side spin begins before the release.
Step 14: Release the ball.
As you release the ball, turn your hand away from your body as if it were a football.The ball should roll off of your finger.The gyroball spins in a spiral like a well-thrown football.
Step 15: Follow through.
The arm should not drift back in to the body.Your arms should be straight.
