Ghost Fork - Senga

[Seancefc]

Anyone got any ideas what I need to change the attributes to, to get an accurate reflection on Sengas real life ghost fork.

In my franchise his fork ball is getting smashed everywhere, it’s very flat and doesn’t seem to drop at the end at all.

Any ideas?

Interesting because I find him to be a cheat code lol. I lead the league in strikeouts with him by like 50+ Ks. I use dynamic and it did start on Veteran but currently it’s on Legend+. My last game with him 6 innings, 0 runs and 12 Ks.

I’m on legend too.

Crazy, he’s 0-3 after 3 starts with a 15 (ish) ERA. Fork ball gets creamed and I’m not overusing it at all.

It’s super frustrating! FWIW none of the rest of the rotation are struggling.

Are you keeping it up in the zone? You should have it drop out of the zone of it gets hit. Setting it up with a low fastball helps, but it has to drop out of the zone to get Ks.

I think these "new" pitches like the ghost fork" and sweeper" are just renamed version of older pitches. A ghost [emoji317] fork is just a fork ball and the sweeper is a screwball.

Sweeper acts like a slider with more break.
I have no clue on a ghost fork.

Constantly change speeds too, don’t always throw it hard. Sometimes I max it, other times I throw it softer. It keeps hitters off balance.

You might go into his pitch attributes and increase the break on his fork ball.

"Ghost fork" is just a nickname for Kodai's Forkball/splitter. It's not really a new pitch.

Like someone else mentioned Sweepers are a slider "variant"that has big horizontal break. IMO it is different enough from a traditional" (gyro) slider to be classified as something different - it's typically gripped/thrown differently than a traditional slider - but it's probably a pitch that's been around for awhile, it's just sort of the "in" pitch the last couple years.

It’s just a forkball with a wide split grip and Senga pronates more so it has some outside spin which causes it to just drop out at the end. It almost has a bit of a knuckle to it because of how it floats and then sinks away from lefties and in to righties.

Re: Ghost Fork - Senga

A couple years ago I gave him a Splitter with 99 movement that seemed to be fairly Ghost-like and similar to his real pitch.

I use Meter pitching on my Mets franchise.

I ALWAYS AND I MEAN ALWAYS AIM FOR THE AREA BELOW THE ACTUAL STRIKE ZONE when I throw his forkball. That way if I miss to high with the meter it will still be lower in the strike zone.

I also will play games with batter where I will throw 3 or 4 forkballs in a row when I should be mixing it up. Forkballs work best when you throw it in a non forkball situation low in the zone.

I stay high with his fastball and kill them with Forkballs breaking low in the zone.

Re: Ghost Fork - Senga

It was called a scrv if I remember correctly. Sweeping curve, now just sweeper

Re: Ghost Fork - Senga

A regular screwball breaks the opposite way of a slider or curve.

For a righty pitcher it breaks in to a righthanded hitter. For a lefty pitcher it breaks right to left in to a lefty hitter.
