Filthiest Pitches

[kenp86]

What do you guys think is the filthiest pitch in game? Something you just cant hit. Whether its a skow knuckler, a nasty slider, Chapman's fastball or something else.

What is your filthiest pitch and who has it? Me, i cant hit Kershaws slider or Chapman's fastball

Also, if you could build the best repertoire for a pitcher, what would it be. 5 pitches. From any pitcher in game today.

Re: Filthiest Pitches

I've found the Vulcan Changeup to be pretty filthy in game. Ian Kennedy has one in the game (according to the OSFM 1.5 roster I'm using), and it's extremely difficult to pick up and make solid contact on.

Re: Filthiest Pitches

This year, I'm finding knuckle-curves to be truly nasty. It's like a natural curve (which I'm already finding to be one of the nastiest pitches to handle this year) but with NO visual clues as it comes in. Well, until it drops like a meteor and I swing over it like a fool. Seriously spotting the knuckle-curve is 100% guesswork for me.

1. Tyson Ross' arm action and 4 seamer (unreal!)
2. Romo's slider
3. Samardzija's splitter
4. King Felix's 2 seamer
5. Kershaw's curveball

Re: Filthiest Pitches

Ive developed a pretty nasty twosome with my RTTS pitcher with his Slurve and Vulcanchange.

Who has the best knuckle curve? Kimbrel?

Re: Filthiest Pitches

Juan Marichels screwball is the most unfair pitch I've seen so far, utterly unfair. Combine that with his straight curve as well and it's just unhittable.

I personally have huge issues hitting any slurve as well tbh, curveballs are tough enough without them breaking sideways as well

Re: Filthiest Pitches

Tyson Ross everything. Cannot hit this guy
Mike Morin Changeup
Julio Urias Slider
Andrew Miller slider

Re: Filthiest Pitches

Andrew Miller's slider.

Jake Odorizzi - his slider is the same speed as his change-up, both are 9MPH slower than his fastball, then he has a hook that is about 9MPH slower. Going on memory, but he's the last guy I faced that had me in fits.

Kershaw - Sometimes I get to him, sometimes it's 7-8 shut-out innings.

Re: Filthiest Pitches

Chris Sales slider is my least favorite pitch to try and pick up and hit so far. Even against right handlers it's devastating.

Noah Syndergaard's change up. Ugh!

Re: Filthiest Pitches

When playing online Yu Darvish's curveball is almost impossible to hit

Re: Filthiest Pitches

Pitchers with 90 MPH fastballs followed by 70-75 curve/offspeed pitches are just unfair me. Always have me swinging like an idiot.

Re: Filthiest Pitches

That splitter Koji Uehara has a wicked drop and he can place it anywhere he wants.
you take Darren O'Day's slider and arm angle, and you'll get me. every. single. time.

Re: Filthiest Pitches

Andrew Miller's everything. Its that combo slider, fastball. Brutal. Unless I somehow get ahead in the count against him its just contact swings and hoping to hit it where they ain't.

Re: Filthiest Pitches

Marco Estrada's change up. It at times flashed a 15 mph differential from this 4 seem. And the movement on that pitch is just unfair. He shredded me over 7 giving up only 3 hits and a run.
