    Trouble with my Screwball

    MLB The Show 17 - RTTS mode with a RHP

    Things are gonna pretty well, life is good as I climb through minors to the Show easily (in Veteran so it's not a major prowess but I've fun, it's what's matter and I'm still learning).

    But as I made a slider my special pitch to strikeout Right hand batter, I wanted to add a screwball to strikeout the same way Left hand batter. But here's come the problem. Despite same level in control, velocity and break as my Slider, when I throw a screwball, it's all over the place and consistently hit unlike my other pitch.

    Am I missing something ? Is it normal for a screwball to be such inaccurate despite a very good timing (I use control meter) ?

    Thanks for input guys.

    The only thing I got, is a screwball isnt the opposite of a slider. Its more the opposite of a curveball. The movement on a screwball is going to be more than the movement on a slider, if both have the same break/movement number. A screwball can even be more similar to a sinker depending on a pitchers arm angle. Sorry, thats all I got.
