    MLB The Show 16's Hardest Pitches to Hit

    Perhaps the best element of MLB: The Show is its ability to get into the head of its player. The CPU A.I. is designed to toy with the player just as a pitcher would on the mound. A fastball here, a curveball there, and before you know it, you're watching your player walk back to the dugout empty handed.

    Not all pitches were created equal, however. Kershaw's curve is unfair, Harvey's fastball is practically invisible and Sale's slider is just downright scary. With that in mind, what are the toughest pitches to hit in MLB: The Show 16?

        I play using Fish Eye exclusively at the plate, and for me, that dang 12-6 Curve gives me fits. Especially when it's paired with a hard heavy fastball. I the change of speed doesn't get you, the action does. The toughest thing though, is not allowing it to get to you. Do that, and it's curtains.

          Only pitch I have ever had trouble with has been the 12-6 curve and the sweeping curve if I am using a left handed batter

              ya i agree with the hardest to hit pitches. anything below the strike zone usually fools me. anything that looks like its coming into the zone then just drops messes me up badly.

                Definitely low pitches, I've been known to swing at pitches in the dirt.
                At least I don't try to swing at pitches that wind up hitting me anymore.
                The 12-6 is the bane of my existance, & the splitter/forkball are a close second.

                  A slider from a RHP that sweeps across the zone. Looks like a fastball at first until it goes out of the strike zone and you end up whiffing.

                    Sliders get me all the time. Glad Sale is on my team.

                      Is it true pitches are even slower in 16 than 15? I just started playing 15 from 14 and it's like the pitches are floating in slo-mo to the plate. No matter how long I wait I'm early on everything. On 14 pitch speed seemed perfect to me.

                        Yes I had to train myself to stay back on everything.

                          change ups and 12-6 curves that start at the middle of the plate and break towards the bottom of the zone

                            Low change up and slider running away.
                            I am the lesson after the fall.

                              Count me in on the change down low and slider away. I have to sit on them and adjust to fastballs.
