Re: Mike Lowe MLB The Show '18 Sliders

As with real pitching, pitch speed effects break and drop based on the pitch type selected. Ive been playing with this, and am getting great placement on where I want the pitch to land using various speeds. the biggest and most effective I noticed is when pitching inside to batters.. If you max out, your more then likely to throw wild and bean him if you are not perfect with it. So, with less speed, less, break, and a bit more control or movement on the pitch, you can be a little safer with those types of pitches inside. Just my observation and thoughts on the matter.

Fastballs are obviously the least effected with this. You may see a few mph less with less power on the meter, but playing with the meter with changeups, sliders, and curveballs are very effective.
