Toughest hitters to pitch against?

[magicman411]

Who are some players that give you hard time every at bat?

Everytime I pitch to bryce harper, he takes me deep into the count only to end the 10-12 pitch at bat with a homerun or double.....

Billy Butler, but only when I pitch as Justin Verlander.

Oscar Taveras beats me up pretty good. The most obvious one is Miggy Cab.

The entire Pirates outfield (Marte, McCutchen, Polanco) eat me up and spit me out on a regular basis

Dexter Fowler. Guy has owned me for years. Same this year, too. Takes me back to when I couldn't beat Peyton Manning in Madden for four years. The guy once had all of his receivers hurt, highest was 63 OVR, and threw 5 TDs and 450+ YDS. But Dexter sucks...

I can never seem to get Daniel Murphy out when I play the Mets.

Re: Toughest hitters to pitch against?

Mediocre catchers like Zunino, seem to kill me.

Re: Toughest hitters to pitch against?

I can never seem to get Buster Posey out. No matter what I do he always seems to be a step ahead of me.

Nori Aoki - OF Kansas City

I swear he hits at least .700 off me. Won't chase anything out of the zone, fouls off my best pitches, finds a hole every time. This morning he even hit an oppo field bomb where he stared it down. It was his 3rd HR in 75 games but of course he hits it off me (Astros - Cosart).

Honorable mention:

Joe Mauer - Twins
Mitch Moreland - Rangers
Josh Donaldson - A's
Mark Teixera - Yankees

Jay Bruce. He's hitting around .750 with probably a 2.500 slugging percentage against me

Prince Fielder.

No matter if I bring in a LOOGY or I'm using my starter, a sidearmer, a flamethrower, whatever. If I can hold him to a single I've been known to celebrate.

Re: Toughest hitters to pitch against?

For me, it has to be Mike Trout or Mike Stanton. No matter the pitch or location, they always seem to smoke the ball. It's gotten to the point where I just hit Trout every time he comes up haha.

Re: Toughest hitters to pitch against?

This is gonna sound weird but.....Greg Kottaras

He hits no doubter HRs off me every time I play against him in my franchise. He has 10hr on the year and I've given up 9 of them. I really don't understand how it's possible lol

Re: Toughest hitters to pitch against?

I tend to have issues with slap hitters. They sit there and foul everything off working upwards of 10+ pitch ABs before either drawing a walk or putting it into play. Also there's an occasional player in the game who is a complete unknown who will work me for 40-50 pitches out of my 110-120 total pitches.

The only other hitter I have issue with is those speedy lead-off hitters who always end up bunting at some point. Twice I've had perfect games blown up in the 7th because they've placed a perfect bunt, and three no-hitters in the 8th and 9th for this very reason.

Re: Toughest hitters to pitch against?

Joe Mauer, tend to have an 8-10 pitch episode consistently. Seems to go 3 for 4 all the time (with a walk of course).
