MLB The Show: The Hardest Pitch to Hit Is...

[bronxbombers21325]

Knuckleballs are such a rare pitch, so I don't feel like I have to worry about those too much. I'm going to say for me, I have a hard time with a change up.

Well in MLB: The Show, it's knuckleballs by far. With timing hitting I've never put the ball in play, against RA Dicky last year I drew five Walks hit a HR and struck out 22 times.

In real life, I think it's a good change-up IIRC.

Knuckles are tough. But well-placed sliders can be so defeating.

I consistently have trouble with C.C.'s Slider. Although KBs are a very close second for me.

Sliders are tough for me. knuckleballs I just bunt to get the pitcher out of his rhythm.

Online, in DD its the submarine high 101 mph fastball. If you play at the default hitting view its virtually impossible to judge if its just a bit high out of the zone or not. That little bit makes a difference in a fly out and a HR. You have to guess. Its easy to foul off if you get your PCI all the way up, but it just leads to pop outs.

People give away their tendencies online so even if they have a fleet of submarine flamethrowers they follow the same patterns.

Eventually you pick up on it, hit a few HRs and they quit. But they do prey on the more inexperienced players online and that sucks that people have to deal with this instead of just playing an enjoyable game.

Change-up/circle change-ups down always seem to get me. Especially when the pitcher throws hard (Strasburg, Verlander, etc.)

Regardless of pitch type I think anything with high velocity that is located high and inside is problematic - for a few innings.
