Vs. Skills

[deknegt]

What are they exactly?

Like in My Player mode I can dump points into Vs. Left/Right handed batter and I am wondering how important they are.

Is it like a general ability which makes a pitcher better regardless of how much stuff his pitches have?

Like am I better off throwing points into the Vs. stats or upgrade my pitches?

It is your success vs whatever the stat is showing. (so your vs. Left handed batters batting average, is how well you pitch against lefties and what their average is against you.)

As a closer or set-up guy these are important (imo) at least in real-life because you'd be inserted in certain situations ... ie left-hander vs Left-hander.

As a Starter, I am concentrating on improving my individual pitches ... I am only in my second season (first in majors) so I do not know if this is wise or not.
