Control slider question
 

What is the effect of setting the pitching control slider to the maximum it can be (assuming that the pitching consistency slider is still set in the middle, where it is by default) ?

This is a quote from Bobheads excellent last gen slider explanation thread that you may find helpful. I have it saved in my notes and often refer to it. Most of the info contained in it is still relevant.

------- Pitcher Control: Affects the "sharpness" of pitches. This slider affects a pitcher's effectiveness, the effectiveness of their pitches (ie: whiff rate), and a pitcher's ability to paint the corners/edges of the strike zone. Directly affects ball-to-strike ratios, as well as walk-to-out ratios. Directly affects the opposing batter's ability to make contact on a pitch, as well as the level of contact made.

Increasing ONLY this slider will reduce walks, pitch counts, and opposing batting averages. Increasing ONLY this slider will slightly increase strikeouts. If a pitcher is hitting their spots on the black too frequently, or not able to paint the corners enough; or if a pitcher is just dominating hitters too much, regardless of pitch location, this is the option to change.

This slider also affects the opponent's (moreso CPU ones) likeliness of chasing a pitch. Increasing the Human Pitch Control slider will increase the number of chases by the CPU
