Pitching styles Park has, Fastball (four seam) that spins like a gyro ball to prevent drop, it is probable that park doesn't know what a gyro ball is. (in Korea they call four seams or fastballs "straight ball" so it would not make sense for a "straight ball" to drop) Two seam, often mistaken for a forkball, he throws it with the middle finger slightly outside the seam to give it a more curveball like spin. Changeup, his change up is similar to his two seam except it has a floating like spin. It is noted that park uses his changeup to trick batters' timing as the change up looks identical to the two seam yet is much slower. Curveball, his curveball may look like it is rising on camera due to the angle, however it travels similar to a slider while having the spin similar to a left handed shuuto. It is noted from multiple pictures that park doesn't look towards the batter box until the ball is released from his hand. Reason is not yet known. His pitching form is one of a kind developed personally. Arguably one of the most thought out pitching windups in baseball.
