    Fastball/ Off-speed pitches ratio


    maybe its just me, but i seem to get an off speed pitch much more then a fastball. atleas 90% of the pitches i get are off speed, and i do struggle with it. so i was wondering, is it just normal to get more off speed junk the fastballs? or is it that because im a good fastball hitter, and struggle with off speed pitches, that i get a lot more off speed. thanks.

    It's definetly because you struggle with the off speed pitches that you see so many. The AI will continue to throw them until you prove you can hit them consistently. I have the same problem with them, the best thing you can do to try to see more fastballs, is to try to be very patient and lay off pitches outside of the strike zone. Work the count as best you can to your advantage, and try to get into fastball counts like 3-0, and 3-1, in these counts you will see a lot of fastballs. Good luck.

                Yeah, I'm in this camp too. I can't hit a changeup to save my life.

                I love how this game can put you off-balance with the pitches.
