    Pitcher Fatigue Experiment

    Just repeated this experiment 5 times with same result.

    Took same pitchers against each other and pitched entire game with just fast balls. One pitcher went all out every pitch (classic - max effort) and the other minimum.

    Every time the fatigue rate was exactly the same. So am I to conclude then that pitch effort makes no difference to fatigue?

    I've never taken the first motion as "effort." Rather, developers have called it "effectiveness." Fastballs have more hop, curves have more break. But the larger the effectiveness meter builds, the smaller the accuracy zone gets for the second motion.

    The trade-off for a using a low effectiveness pitch is not saving stamina... it's gaining accuracy.
