What gives you the most trouble?

Re: What gives you the most trouble?

The hardest for me is the changeup because I usually recognize it up I let it come in for a strike out most of the time. I also hate batting against pitchers with low 90's fastball because I get so desperate when I see that fastball coming and I usually get early swings. Any type of curve is tough also especially the 12-6 curve.

Anyone who doesn't say the knuckleball is lieing. It's easy to hit. However, it is so unpredictable you don't know weather to lay off or swing till it is right on top of you, and it has such late movement that it can be in the zone when you start to swing then end up 2 feet outside the zone. I usually am very patient with knuckleballers, I usually lay off until I fall behind in the count, or I get a nice juicy meatball in the center of the dish. Other then that I would say the 12-6 curve, because at times it starts out like either a fastball or change, then just drops off the table the late break is what gets you. I also swing at way too many sinkers, even if their in the zone I can't resist, and in turn hit into a rally killing double play. Also, high fastballs get me every time, I tell my self I'm not going to swing and I do anyways. However, that is my favorite strikeout pitch online.

Re: What gives you the most trouble?

Thie thread should have two parts. Pitches that are hard to lay off, and pitches that are hard to pull the trigger on. I tend to beat my self up a lot on the latter more then the former. And it's usually the slider or sweeping curve. It will start in off the plate, I'll think it's going to be inside / outside, and it will not only catch the plate, but will end up being dead center. I hate that especially with a guy like Russell Branyan at the plate, knowing had I swung NASA would have to add baseballs to it's astronaut threat list.

I haven't the slightest idea how to hit a knuckleball.

What gets me is high heat. I can recognize when a pitch is going to break and I can slow down my swing to get it. It's those fastballs that come after three change-ups that put me down swinging or leave me looking stupid.

Pretty much any pitcher with a large repertoire...(4+ pitches). Those kind of pitchers just keep me off balance.
