Was the batter Kit Keller?

Just goes to show you that as a pitcher, you are never safe from a solo shot, even if you throw it in the visiting team dugout they can still get a early okay bomb

The most power can be generated from pulling a high pitch, so I can believe it.
Dumbest argument ever. If you haven’t notice this game is played inside on a gaming console. Not real life, find something original.

I honestly don't know what's worse, the fact that this is possible or the fact that are actually people defending this occurence. If I would hit a bomb on a pitch this high, I'd be the first to call BS and apologize to my opponent.

Well now maybe you understand why people get annoyed by your defending of things that are quite obviously a problem.

It sucks to give up HRs on pitches outside the zone especially that far but it happens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTpUc_42g8s That's a video of Eddie Rosario going deep on a ridiculously high pitch and you can find plenty more. While balls hit around 93 MPH are HRs in this game far more often then they should based on physics, I actually think that HRs on pitches outside the zone are much less frequent in this game than in real life, likely because if something like this happened all the time, people would be freaking out
-
The one thing this thread has shown me is that people will defend anything in this game. I only hope SDS doesn't see the comments defending this and think its justified

Took a nice little break from the game, I needed it. Started a BR game just now, on a 4-0 run that I started last week. Score is 2-2 and then my opponent hits a 2 run homer ON THIS
Are you FFFFFFing kidding me? I knew exactly what my opponent was looking for. I read him like a book. I knew he was gonna chase, so I spot the pitch extra high. Because you know... in this game you can never be to sure, those can still be crushed. But I've NEVER seen anything like this before and it actually turns my stomach.
Edit: my pitcher was O'Day with full stamina.
I think I have an actual intelligent real life answer to your problem...
Remember that white dot on the feedback SHOWS where the ball would have crossed the plate NOT where he made contact with it. The words TELL you where he made contact with it, right?
Stay with me here because this gets pretty mind blowing...
According to that feedback he was early with his swing. Now if O’Day was pitching like you said (a submariner I believe) the ball would be coming from the bottom of the strikezone and not over the top like normal. With an early swing technically he would be making contact with the ball lower than the white dot indicates since the pitch was coming from the bottom of the strikezone to begin with. The combination of a submariner and an early swing allowed him to make contact while it was still in a hittable location. Sucks yeah but makes sense doesn’t it...
Just trying to apply real life physics and analysis with the feedback/information given. Not defending this game or SDS.

That's where you're wrong in my opinion. Showdowns are not a problem, they work as intended. They provide a challenge with some low risk/high reward stuff. And I'll explain it again, that post was NOT to bash people who criticize showdown. It was to call out those who want everything nerfed to hell so they can have their own participation trophy and join the parade.
This is something completely different. I wonder how many people in this thread have actually got a clue how many far reaching effects this occurence has on the way we play this game:
Pitching is already hard enough as it is, where you'll throw meatballs on good releases. That's whatever, won't be fixed I assume so I accept that for what it is. But the whole idea of baseball from a pitcher's perspective is to read what opponent is looking for and what he struggles against. A good player in this game, which I am and have been for years, is able to read opponents in this matter relatively quickly. If you can then execute, whether it's hitting or pitching, you're most likely gonna win.
I read my opponent, I knew he was gonna swing at this and that's exactly what I wanted. I executed the pitch, that location if perfect. I don't care what anybody says about real life baseball or how high the strike zone is or whatever other argument you can come up with. That pitch is almost an extra quadrant higher than the top of the strike zone. It was a well executed pitch. And my opponent did what I expected and wanted him to do; he swung at it.And here comes the conclusion: I executed perfectly, both the location and the assumption he would swing, and he should be penalized for being outplayed/outsmarted by me in this "mini game within the game". For making him chase a horrible pitch. Instead he gets rewarded with a 2 run homer. THAT is the real issue here.

Please. That ball was at eye level, probably even higher. Have you ever swung a bat in real life? No way you're generating power THAT high my guy
You cannot throw eye level lol. If so it wont show up on the feedback. That was probably letter high. Still, I would be ticked off as well.

Maybe you're right, maybe not. It isn't the discussion we should be having imo. Read what I said above your comment, where I drew a conclusion of why this is such a problem. That is what we should be talking about.

@PAinPA said in How in the world?:
It's actually not eye level,though by the rule book it should be. top of the strike zone is just above the belly button,which is accurate to real life, from the rule book it should be the bottom of arm pits but hasn't been that in over 20years.
Going by just above belly button - I estimate that pitch to be bottom of the collar bone.
Nipples to Knees is the Strikezone.

This was a rare occasion you got burned, that kind of stuff happens especially in BR. Hits IRL aren't regulated to the strikezone, so why would the game.
Here's what had become clear though every time you make a post of an opinion you become a [censored]. Anyone who dares post a contradictory opinion from yours gets condescending remarks from you. You find every single one and respond with tales of your superior skill and intellect. There's just no way you couldnt be right...
Here's a thought for you Mr. Stick God. If you had any actual baseball sense you wouldn't be attempting to throw a fastball up in the zone with Darren O'Day in a tie game. That is his lowest rated pitch for starters. Second and most importantly his pitching motion makes a fastball travel a completely opposite trajectory. Going low to high would make his fastball easier to get on especially considering his average velocity.
Please add me to the block list too when you're finished with your snarky response. It sounds like they are having a sweet party over there

In the rulebook yes, but in MLB the top of the zone is much closer to the belt

Yes I'm wrong in YOUR opinion...just like people in this thread are saying YOUR wrong in their opinion. Thus making me right on what I stated.
It's completely different because you are the one being burnt this time.

I gave you a perfectly logical reason why this happened to you and instead you continue to cry foul and only answer back to the people that attacked you or defended the game. You ask a question but it’s obvious you don’t want intelligent answers and are just here to moan and complain. No sympathy at all for you and I hope it happens again

Apologies, I missed your comment initially as there is so much stuff going on here. Out of all the arguments made, yours does make the most sense. I still find it unacceptable that this is being rewarded for reasons I mentioned earlier, but that's my opinion and it's okay to disagree with that.
Shame you have to end on such a hateful note, I had no bad intentions towards you whatsoever.
