D-Unit Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I know there is a cyberface and portrait for him, but is there a CAP for him? I don't see one on Fanfare Games and since he isn't in the MLB (yet), I don't know where to look.

D-Unit Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Nothing? Does anyone have a scouting report about him? Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/23771-daisuke-matsuzaka/#findComment-304122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalboy15 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 remember Wikipedia is your friend: His fastball ranges from 90-96 mph, with good late movement. He also throws a splitter, changeup and slider with almost the same delivery. He is also the pitcher most associated with the infamous gyroball, although by his own admission he does not throw one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisuke_Matsuzaka there you go...

ronmexico Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I don't think it's possible to recreate the stuff that he throws in MVP. That gyroball is one of the oddest things I've ever seen. I tried to throw it (I'm as curious as George) and since I come sidearm it had this really weird effect, it started off screwing and then moved back across the plate like a slider, and moved pretty throughly. I guess you could make his gyroball a splitter with amazing break, though its the 2nd motion that makes it such a deadly pitch.

D-Unit Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 I know it can't be perfect, but I want him to be in the game for realism as he will be an MLB free agent for 2007. What trajectory should I put the "gyroball"? Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/23771-daisuke-matsuzaka/#findComment-306113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmexico Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I would put a 12-6 or an 11-5, probably an 11-5. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/23771-daisuke-matsuzaka/#findComment-306114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 thanks. I have gotten some info, but I can't find his translated weight, or pitch velocities for his splitter, changeup, curveball, and "gyroball" which i will use a screwball for now.

ronmexico Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 splitter about 90-92, change about 83-86 and curve, i am not too sure, but i think i saw it around 78-81. Check youtube, you can watch him throw there. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/23771-daisuke-matsuzaka/#findComment-306125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 wow, thanks ron. I'll check it out. I am just gonna give him 60's and 70's control for his pitches because I doubt I could get that accurate with him.

Sean O Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Once again, he does not throw the gyroball. There are pitchers that do throw it, but Daisuke Matsuzaka is not one of them. When you have stuff like he does, you don't need a mythical new pitch.

ronmexico Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Actually, he's considered one of the more accurate pitchers in Japan ever since he had his arm surgery, cause he dropped from about 100 to 96 mph.

ronmexico Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I've read that before, but I don't think that you should base it all on that one article, because I've read other things, where he said is slyly, and he also hinted at him throwing it, and not many more where he said he didn't.

D-Unit Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 I am gonna try and make a decent Daisuka Matsuzaka CAP and import him into my dynasty.
