Does anyone else throw an absurd number of wild pitches?

[Bartolo Colon]

I’ve been having an issue, since the last few years, of throwing too many wild pitches. In a 33 start season I’ll throw between 15 - 20 WP’s a year. Anytime a pitch touches the dirt it always gets away (even with Sal Perez as my catcher).

My settings are All-Star and Meter pitching.

I’ve tweeked the fielder reaction slider but it did not make a difference.

If anybody can help me with this that would roses.

Try up the blocking slider for catchers? I know I have most of my catchers in 80-99’s cause of all the wild pitches/passed balls. I still see them but not overly done I don’t think.

I don’t see an blocking slider option. I’m in RTTS so I can’t edit my catcher’s overall fwiw.

No, but I do ground into an absurd number of double plays.

To give this a little more context; through my current pitchers 8 seasons I’ve made 225 starts (with 0 relief appearances and never simulated) and have 152 wild pitches.

To compare; Chris Sale IRL has made 215 career starts, with 80 relief appearances and has thrown just 36 career wild pitches. (Via Fangraphs).

I havent had a problem since Tim Wakefield retired. Back in the ps3 days, I used to love me some Wakefield. Sorry to ramble off topic. Back in my younger days when I would play online occasionally , I'd love to pitch with Wakefield, and then to perplex my opponent, never throw a knuckleball until the 6th or 7th inning lol

And back on topic, the 2 pitches I'm likely to be wild with are the slider, especially when trying to throw it way outside, and the 12-6 curve, especially when trying to throw it at the plate. But even then, I wouldn't say its excessively wild.

On the off-chance I’m batting I turn into a double play Douglas. I need to join the high launch angle revolution.

Bouncing the curve and splitter are my bugaboo.
