Matsuda has some instructional videos, he throws a palm up 'slider' (curve), a rollover drop, and a backhand change up, or thinks he does.
Probably why he didn't do well over the course of a season. It may be something that works over the course of a single week tournament (WBSC) where teams haven't seen him in years.
I can tell you without hesitation, if I pitched against Canada, New Zealand, or against Folkard's club team (Hill United of Ontario) and I used those pitches, I'd end up with a polycore ball imbedded into my forehead.
