Thinking of picking him up for my weekend WS push. Anyone who’s used or faced him on HOF have any reviews?
-
He gets crushed by anyone decent. Just doesn't have the pitch mix necessary to be successful at that level.... imo
-
He may end up helping someone else's push for World Series...lol.

No velo, no good pitches, that is a very strong no for me. Kerry Wood, hershiser, Leiter, and Hamels would be who I’d choose (you may have them tho)
-
OP you have ballz of steel if you do that my friend
-
Tried him out just the other day. He gets a no from me. Nothing special and no real out pitches. Check out MadBum if you haven’t already. Really solid and smooth as silk. I’m keeping him.
-
I loved his quick pitch animation, but it wasn't worth all the runs he was giving up; didn't seem like anyone had trouble picking up his pitches.

No Velo?? He throws 98 with a 71 mph curve. His fastball moves outside in. I am decent with him. I also have his prestige card. Try him out in another mode first.

It is 96 max on his prestige card so that isn’t possible...he isn’t good lol

I get it to 98 using meter all the way in the red.

Then idk but he isn’t good for anyone I have heard from besides you
-
Everyone has their preferences.
-
I love his smooth delivery and his changeup down is effective.
-
He is great for me 36 innings 1.25 era, I fool people with that 12-6 curve constantly
-
Found like all high rated pitchers...he is good against folks like me or worse, better than me crush him.
-
I’ve used his prestige in 3 RS starts, and that was enough for me to move on. As others mentioned, against a very good player, he’ll get shelled. Against an average player, he’s pretty good - his 2 seam and slider breaking opposite directions keeps most people off balance. His best pitch is his curve - that should tell you all you need to know about him.
-
Mixed results.......need to mix pitches well.....most people sit on the curve....tends to hang if you throw it too often.....if I use him it is 6 innings max....usually gets crushed 3rd time through the lineup
