Hardest pitchers to hit off of?

[Ckhoss29]

Man last night I was playing against the White Sox and I was mounting a comeback when all of a sudden Billy Koch came in. I was oh well on other baseball games the closers aren't that hard to hit off of. Man i couldn't touch anything. He threw 97mph, with a nasty,nasty,nasty slider. I was just guessing. Also faced Percival and it was lights out there too. Kind of hard when he is throwing 96 with a big looping curve that goes about 80. I have never struck out on any video game (Even HH) as much as i do in this game.

I lost all plate discipline against A.J. Burnett and Roger Clemens yesterday.

John Smoltz. I was trailing by 2 on the road against Atlanta and old Smoltzy came in and shut me down. His slider has to be among the best in the game.

You my friend need to play ASB 2004. I would consider myself a pretty good player at that game and there are games where I still strike out 11 or 12 times. I love all the baseball games this year but great googly moogly is it hard to hit on ASB.

I went up against Billy Koch and he does indeed have a NASTY slider and a mean heater. Armando Benitez can get the radar gun up there too. But Pedro has been the toughest for me to hit because of his filthy fastball-changeup combo.

The Unit absolutely dominated me, 11 K's in about 7 IP. Then they brought in some lefty-side arm dude, can't even remember who it was (Myers? Prinz?? don't remember) but I couldn't pick up the ball at all and when I would, it would be too late. I think I wiffed like 5 times in the 6 outs against him.

Thing I like about this game is that the CPU will try to bait you into fishing for balls out of the zone, and the Unit crossed me up all day. I kept looking for the wrong pitch, say fastball away, then he'd spin a wicked slider in to the righty and I just couldn't lay off. I did manage to beat him, however, 4-3 on All-star level as Ichiro had an RBI double and triple and Bret Boone hit a 3-run shot to left-center. Oh yeah, for arguments sake, Luis Gonzalez took Pineiro yard to right-center, although I will say HR's by the CPU are still a little scarce.
