Perhaps the best element of MLB: The Show is its ability to get into the head of its player. The CPU A.I. is designed to toy with the player just as a pitcher would on the mound. A fastball here, a curveball there, and before you know it, you're watching your player walk back to the dugout empty handed.

Not all pitches were created equal, however. Kershaw's curve is unfair, Harvey's fastball is practically invisible and Sale's slider is just downright scary. With that in mind, what are the toughest pitches to hit in MLB: The Show 16?

Most things slow and low are emeffers.... Equal to a kick in the jimmy.

I play using Fish Eye exclusively at the plate, and for me, that dang 12-6 Curve gives me fits. Especially when it's paired with a hard heavy fastball. I the change of speed doesn't get you, the action does. The toughest thing though, is not allowing it to get to you. Do that, and it's curtains.

Only pitch I have ever had trouble with has been the 12-6 curve and the sweeping curve if I am using a left handed batter

As the Beastie Boys said....

Slow and low

ya i agree with the hardest to hit pitches. anything below the strike zone usually fools me. anything that looks like its coming into the zone then just drops messes me up badly.

Definitely low pitches, I've been known to swing at pitches in the dirt.
At least I don't try to swing at pitches that wind up hitting me anymore.

The 12-6 is the bane of my existance, & the splitter/forkball are a close second.
