What is with the minor league pitchers?

[thegut]

I'm trying to play RTTS and some of the AA pitchers are so ridiculous that it is killing my enjoyment. For an example, I'm currently going against the Mobile Baybears and their starter named Karnitz throws 100mph 4SFB.....and an 82mph CH!? Is there anyway to get realistic abilities for pitchers at this level?

I'm waiting for the OSFM to release then I'll buy the game.

Obviously some minor league pitchers have these abilities, or do you think they magically appear when they get called up?

Really? You believe there are minor league SPs that throw consistently at 100mph with a changeup 18% slower than their fastball? A question, how many MLB starters can you name that do that nevermind Double A?

If you really think there are double A pitchers who throw a 100 mph fastball and an 82 mph change, I've got a bridge to sell you.

The closest real life comparison I can think of is Michael Kopech. Should be in AA this year, Fastball gets over 100mph but Changeup is closer to high 80's-90mph.

Off the top of my head Michael Kopech consistently hits 100 on fast ball and his changeup is mid to high 80's but throws a slider in the low to mid 80's so its not really all that unrealistic, there are guys out there that throw hard especially as teams have been pushing for that and can get their secondary pitches in the mid to low 80s..


so where's that bridge guy

What are his control numbers? Does he consistently throw strikes or does he have those numbers and walk 5 guys in 5 innings?
