This link says that it is around 62% strikes and 38% balls. http://www.efastball.com/baseball/pi...to-ball-ratio/ I think I'll just continue playing and see how it goes. I don't know it just seemed odd to me.

Yes, the overall strike % is about 60 - 63%. But it is not uncommon to see it come down in a 50 - 60% range when a pitcher(s) labors.
