Best pitch types in '23

[Skippy85410]

What does everyone like offline against CPU hitters?

Mine are:

1. Slider
2. 4seam
3. Cutter
4. Splitter (easily the best K pitch in the game when thrown at the knees)
5. Sinker

Re: Best pitch types in '23

When I need a strike, four seam is my go to. I feel like it’s the only pitch that I know where it’s going

Forkball seems to be my best strikeout pitch

My favorite combo is to throw a slider down and away off the plate with the assumption they won’t swing. Then the next pitch I aim a cutter in the same spot and with the smaller break it usually catches the corner for a strike looking

Fastball up and in is unhittable if you don't get too much of the plate.

Other than that, I always make sure any pitchers I acquire have a slider and changeup variation. Curveballs aren't actually bad on 23 though, I feel like they would get murdered in prior years.

Re: Best pitch types in '23

I'm going to get very specific here, I can consistently put a Cutter with a righty pitcher versus a lefty batter starting low and away outside the zone then cut back in the zone or on the black and it has become my bread and butter go to pitch when available. It works well enough against righty batters too, either low and inside breaking into the zone, or low and outside cutting out of the zone, but not to the extent it does against lefty batters. Versus righty hitters with a righty pitcher, I need to throw it high and inside more than low.
