What's your RTTS '21 pitchers repertoire?

[Instant C1a55ic]

Curious to what everyone is using in terms of pitching repertoire, how you set them up, and if you are a groundball/fly out strategist?

My current set up:

4-seam fastball
Vulcan-change
Slider
12-6 curve

Personally, I tend to be a ground-ball, high strikeout pitcher. So far through 4 starts my guy has a 8 strike out avg per 9. I keep everything middle-down, only to run a fastball high and in on the hands to lefties for a strike out, and a slider either classically down and away, or middle down away so that it looks like a strike coming in, to break a little away and down out of the zone to righties.

New this year for me is the 12-6 curve. Terrified to use it this early in my guys career as I'm afraid of hanging one lol. I'll use it mainly on 2 strike or even counts to throw off the batter.

Vulcan change is a pretty nice change of pace from the other pitches. Love throwing it inside to righties, and so far I stray away from throwing it to lefties in AA. Always seems to get crushed.

For the future, I'm gonna add either a sinker or splitter to catch batters off guard, since the Vulcan can resemble either one of those pitches.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's else's set ups and styles!

4 seam,
Circle Change,
Slider
Split

I try to be a ground ball type pitcher, keeping most my pitches down, and when looking for double plays i rely heavily on the split.. while keeping that ball low in the zone for the most part, I will at times with 2 strikes, change the batters eye level by busting him up and in with high cheese (4 Seam) get allot of strikeouts like that or week pop ups... My 5th pitch might be a Cutter.

I wanted to make it as challenging as possible while also as unique as possible too.
so I possess a Palmball, Circle Change and a Vulcan Change

Dude, that's a whole new level of difficulty lol

I honestly wouldn't have ever thought of that to be honest. I know many knuckleballers throw nothing but slow stuff, so I see your build.

I try not to throw many fastballs, but in AA I am sure you can imagine falling behind a lot.

yeah, I doubt I ever even get as much as a sip of coffee in the Show but I'm just going to enjoy kicking around in the minors until I have to get a job in the real world lol

Good luck trying to get the knuckleball.. Unless they just added I don't think it's in game. I tried the circle change and with the new pin point pitching type I had a difficult time throwing it.

I think I'll go

Cutter, Curve, 4-seam FB, Screwball. I like quick outs so go for contact. So I give up my fair share of hits.
