I have had 18 innings. 1 wasn't a #1 pitch and it was a ball. 17 other times it was the #1 pitch. All were strikes, 3 of those were low strikes, the rest down the middle. This is in exhibition, all-star. I mentioned prior i have faced five relievers in those games. Three started an inning. The other two did throw their #1 pitch on the first pitch. One was down the middle. The other was a strike slightly to the right. I should add i was the road team both games. I'll be the home team next time.

I understand. It looks like the average of first pitch strikes in all at-bats is around 58-62%. I can't find any stats about the strike percentage of just the first batter of an inning but I assume it's somewhat close to this maybe slightly higher. This does sound to be an issue, albeit not as large as the RTTS issue dealing with EVERY at-bat.

There is a bug report on The Show Nation site about just the RTTS first pitch bug, it has 5 votes. Maybe we should have someone make another bug report about the exhibition/franchise first pitch of each inning bug and up vote both of them if we all agree these are indeed the issues and have a consensus
