It's all about knowing how to throw them, I find great success with Jansen's & Wood's cutter.

Most of the times I throw it I get hitters to chase or to swing off balance which is the purpose of throwing it but hitters still get rewarded.

If they are constantly getting rewarded and it's a useless pitch to you, that means you are using it wrong. I have great success with it, so it's not a "useless" pitch. The discrepancy between how you describe it and the success I have with it tells me the fault is not on the pitch itself.

Nothing more useless in this game than the cutters. You get hitters to chase and to swing early on them and you still getting smashed. Smh!
Pitches out of the zone may bloop in for hits sometimes, but they are rarely "smashed".
I've found the cutter to be fairly effective this year when used properly. If you start it towards the middle of the zone and try to cut inside, it's probably going to get hit hard. You need to start it inside and have ride in on the hands so they can't do anything with it. Either that or start it out of the zone and have it cut back in and nick a corner.

The front door/backdoor cutter is your friend. Also the cutter in on the hands like Mo used to do is your friend. Don't think of it like a slider because it's not.

Cutters mixed in with sliders and hardballs are nice. Cutters tend to throw people off balance when going for sliders next. 2 cutters away low, followed by a slider away and then some hard chin music....muah! italian fingers

I love the cutter. In on the hands is good for a K or jam, cutter away is good for getting a rolled over grounder, backdoor/front door cutter is a good sneak attack pitch. It's all about sequencing and how you use it.

OP needs to cut it out. If you can't use the cutter it's a YOU thing

Try using cutters like 2-seamers and you'll see how effective they can be.
You can nab inside strikes or outside strikes, because hitters will give up on them.
Regarding inside cutters to opposite-handed batters, be smart about when you throw them and keep your opponent off-balance.
We all get screwed by the occasional errant pitch, especially the "perfect release" that misses by a foot: that can happen to any pitch, though.

I have always found it easy to get the cutter up in the zone just on the corner with RH pitchers it is coming in on the lefties hands and worst thing you get is a walk or hit him.

2 seamers are worst.

Bruh, try the madbum cutter on HOF/Legend then tell me it's useless I dare you.

The backdoor cutter that starts outside and breaks in towards the plate is a dangerous pitch to be used very carefully IMO. Not many mlb pitchers attempt that one because of the likelihood of leaking over the middle.

Based on the new trailer, I have a feeling cutters are going to play a big part in MLBTS 20.

Facts. I throw high cutters all day and I'm a top player in the world.

Now SDS has to reach out to Metallica about some music rights.
