If you rely only on heat to beat your opponent, then that is on you. Orel has so much horizontal movement that he can make people look stupid, even on AS. You just have to know how to pitch. Wood has less command and his FB is not up there with Dibble to be that hard to hit.
This years game too many people rely on just pure FB speed to pitch. The good players will crush that. Orel is by far the best of the TA3 pitchers. I also think AJ is better than Wood, he has better control and better pitches.
The fastball sets up the offspeed stuff. If that makes me a bad player so be it, but that is what I was coached at juco to do. Orel does not have a fastball to set up the other pitches, that is my concern.

As a side note, if you like Orel you'll LOVE Maddux. Same pitcher, with better break and control.

Orel will always have the best sinker/curveball in the game because of his delivery. Those pitches look the same out of his hand.

OK, I have almost the exact same stats with both, but more K's with Maddux due to his insane ability to dot corners with breaking balls that are out of the zone until the very last second.

Since I've learned to use him and prestige him, Wood has been way better. Both have the ability to get tattooed, but when you get ahead in the count with Wood, it'll be a long game for the opponent. Just make sure you're keeping them off with their timing and stay out of the zone in 0-2 and 1-2 counts.

Trust me I’m not bad mouthing Maddux, I just think Orel’s sinker could have 50 break and still
“move” more than some other pitchers with 99 break. He release is definitely deceptive. -

Orel is Great and Wood’s Slurve is disgusting. It haunts me. I hate it worse then an outside cutter that BARELY hits the zone. Can’t really lose with any of the Stage 3 pitchers. Except Catfish.
I am yet to see Catfish in 60+ events games. I almost want to get him for that reason alone, nobody will really have him sized up. I honestly forget he’s even a TA3 player

I've faced him once. He has a decent pitch mix and probably for that reason I struggled a little. Im curious too and thought about trying him. I ended up winning against the bullpen, but he was decent to me even though it was only 1 game....

Maddux doesn't have the movement Orel does but he can hit any spot you want him to consistently. To get your ks you need to be creative with both though.
