That's another factor. The force that a pitcher throws the ball with is the major issue governing velocity. That's pretty obvious. The difference in speed between low and high pitches due to only location is very small as has been explained on the last few pages. In addition, I've seen a couple of posts alluding to effective velocity (EV) which has more to do with the hitter's perception and the need to start a high swing earlier than a low swing due to the swing arc (or length) of the bat path. So pitcher effort, ball flight time, and bat path are all factors influencing this great game of cat and mouse between pitcher and batter. No wonder that hitting a baseball is, for my money, the toughest thing to do in mainstream professional sports and also why Yogi said 90% of the game is half mental!

Nope, I have heard it referred to Rocket Science or Brain Surgeon not a hybrid of one another.

But rocket surgery is the best type of surgery!

A question I really wanted answered by the AI Czar and still have not seen is:


AI CPU Sub logic in Spring Training and the All-Star Game.

Worked fine till MLB 14.

Was that tuned back to work as it did before?

It basically ruined spring training (and the All-Star game).

Well, that's no good...let me ask.
