Strasburg's 4 pitches

[stupidsuck]

There's been alot of dispute over what he actually throws and the pitches were highlighted during today's game on MASN. I thought these screen shots may help some folks.

Re: Strasburg's 4 pitches

The problem is translating this into the game without a trajectory editor. Most likely his slider/curve is thrown like a curveball because it breaks down like a curveball and the speed off his fastball is curveball speed. I remember one shot during his first start on MLB Network that shown Ivan Rodriguez putting down 2 fingers which is obviously the curveball sign. There is no way to do this but I would use the curveball trajectory and title it slider/curve and it would be 81-84 mph. And the other problem is he throws his changeup around 90 mph. Again there is no way to do this in-game but I would rename the splitter a circle changeup and this would be his changeup.

Re: Strasburg's 4 pitches

Thats a curveball grip and that 2 seamer is a one seam sinker grip.

Re: Strasburg's 4 pitches

I gave Strasburg a 4-seam,Sweeping Curve, 2-seam, sinker, and splitter.

I gave him a splitter due to velocity and break.

He doesn't throw that arsenal of pitches. His pitches consist of:

4-Seam Fastball
2-Seam Fastball
Curveball
Circle Change Up

What should each of these pitches be at ?

Those are ratings not actual speeds. If you throw his fastball high in the zone you get 100. If you throw it low you get 98. Please test this out before you go after me....
