best way to influence more ground balls when pitching?

When I'm pitching, it's mostly fly balls or strikeouts—maybe one ground ball every game. Is there a slider I can adjust to make the CPU hit more ground balls?

Solid hits slider I would think. But it may also be influenced upon pitch type and location.

I get a lot of success with a traditional sinker or changeup at the knees.

You don’t need a slider adjustments. Throw sinkers/changeups/splitters down. You can also throw sliders/curveballs down too but just don’t miss your spot.
