It's like a two-seam fastball.

Wikipedia is your friend: SHuuto.

It's interesting that a fastball with unintended movement (shuuto-kaiten) was considered a mistake in Japanese baseball, even though it would've been more difficult to hit than a flat fastball on many occasions.
About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
