Re: Something off with CPU pitchers hitting?

That all said I’d almost rather face a regular batter in many situations than the opposing teams pitcher. I really pay attention to the pitchers at bat because of this. Doesn’t seem to help. This morning, bases loaded, Verlander at bat, I throw a sinker down, he lines it to right.

I’m not opposed to CPU pitchers getting hits, but something is off. It should be rare, but it’s not. Seems more prominent in scoring situations.
I'm still playing 21, so I can't comment on 22. I feel like pitchers hitting skills are about right on 21, although I did give up a homer to Zach Wheeler once. But previous versions, it did always feel to me like pitchers hit a bit too well, especially in key spots.
