What Pitchers Do You Dominate With ONLINE?

[RawdogRob26]

Title says it all!

I am looking to add the FINAL pieces to my online roster and they are strictly pitchers.

With that said, I am currently running;

Seaver
Scherzer
Niekro
Harvey
Hamels


Now I do really enjoy using Seaver, Scherzer and Niekro, but Harvey and Hamels CONSTANTLY get lit up for me!

Who else is out there that you guys really enjoy using online? I like Pitchers with good Breaking Balls. Curve, Change Up, Knuckle etc. I find the high heat gets just crushed online!


So what are everyone's favourites?


My final online team is;

1B - Bagwell
2B - Altuve
3B - Schmidt
SS - Ozzie Smith
C - DD Player

LF - Marte
CF - Trout
RF - Lofton

I don't have much "Power" in my line up, but I've found that speed and contact has been killing it for me online. I get consistent home runs out of Altuve, Trout, DD Player, Bagwell and Schmidt. So the others are strictly for getting on base and speed around the bases.

It's a bummer how easily people hit fastballs online. Guys like Dennis Eckersley who don't have a change up or a curveball get crushed. I wonder if that's just a result of people using directional hitting? Because I will still miss a lot of fastballs online and I use zone hitting.

Maybe if online matches were set to Legend or Hall of Fame difficulty things might be different, too. All-Star difficulty is too easy when you consider that most teams have godly hitters who can cover the entire plate with their cursor. On the rare occasion when I can get a fastball past a hitter, he usually just fouls it off harmlessly.

I agree.

I have Eckersley and I don't really bother bringing him in unless its absolutely necessary. Not a big fan of the stuff he provides.

Guys I currently have my eye on are;

1) Nolan Ryan + Yu Darvish (Complete The Set)
2) Felix Hernandez + Adam Wainwright
3) Jose Fernandez + Johnny Cueto (Budget)

I am leaning towards Hernandez + Wainwright due to the endurance benefits. But I haven't used either.

The pitcher I dominate the most with is Koji Uehara for some reason. In a bullpen with Uehara, Jansen, McGee, Betances, Rosenthal, and Street, Uehara is just heads and shoulders above the rest. His spliter works great as an off-speed pitch, and his cutter appears to be a really late breaking slider. Also, I rarely miss spots with him, and I think it's due to his quick delivery.

Darvish has a nasty curve. I would recommend him.

Changeup and curveballs seem to be the most effective pitches online. Fastballs get crushed.

Nolan Ryan is excellent, just don't expect huge strikeout totals. Through 3 starts for me, he's gone 9, 9, and 8.1, giving up 0, 2, and 0 runs while striking out 5 in each. Think he has only given up like 8 hits combined.

Wainwright is batting practice.

Thanks for the responses guys!!

I wont bother with Wainwright! But I may give Hernandez a shot before I complete the Texans set.
