What Pitch gives you the most trouble?

[Marino]

Fastball up, change up down. Devils. Can't hit either, but I sure can chase them.

Same here. I honestly think they may need to tweak the changeup a bit.

They are all fairly difficult for me, except FB right down the middle,lol.

If I had to pick just 1 that causes me the biggest problem hitting, it would probably be the change-up. Really any off speed pitch thats on the corners, is tough to hit for me. Even if Ive guessed location and pitch on the corners, there's a good chance I wont do much with it,

Changes down are killer, but the worst for me is STILL the classic lefty-on-lefty crime: slider down and away. If the arm angle is at all sideways, I'm better off just quick managing the at bat...

This year I'm not doing pitch guessing, but when I did I would simply guess changeups down on 2 strikes -- at least it would eliminate that for me. Often though I'd foul several high FB's and then guess that, and BOOM. Changeup down, good night. CPU is sleazy as hell on that...

there must be something about depth perception that doesnt translate well on television
that makes changeup the hardest to hit. because by all rights, the lack of reaction time on fastballs should make those pitches the hardest to hit.
but then, I came upon this on bleacher report a study of batting average against on the seven core pitches (2010-2013)
sinker - .296
4 seam - .265
cutter - .261
slider - .211
curve - .213
change - .244
splitter - .211

so changeup are harder to hit than fastball IRL
at least they were from 2010-2013

Changeups, Splitters, and low Sliders are killer.

[Diehardfan]

Changeups, no question. There are times that I look for them, get them and STILL can't square them up.

[Goldin Brown]

Low change ups give me problems, but I can usually adjust and lay off of them once i see that they are going to keep throwing them. The fastball high and inside is a pitch that I rarely can do anything with, usually a swing and a miss or I go down looking or I just miss it and pop out to the catcher.
