You've been playing people who don't know the tell on him tipping his pitches. Once you run into someone who does know, he'll get destroyed for obvious reasons.
Yeah, well they still have to hit it if they know whatever is coming.
I just bought him recently and play offline as well, so we're safe
True, but most people pitch extremely predictable. Meaning hard stuff in, offspeed away. That way it becomes easy to hit whatever pitch you see he selected. And if you notice your opponent likes to do the opposite and throw hard away and slow inside, you adjust. Either way the ball will fly.
This is actually why I'm pretty aggressive on pitching fastballs high and away, people don't really throw or look for it. A lot of people can't adjust from my experience
Or when pitching the corners all game, every so often throw one right down the middle

Oh really? In my experience that pitch always gets crushed, and I also always crush them myself. The motion of the thumb to that part of the zone is very natural and quick and you have more time to react to it because it goes to the opposite side of the plate. Lefty lefty is a bit harder, but righty on righty I think that's one of the easier pitches to hit.

So far it's worked pretty well. 9-1 on the current season with a 1.53 ERA and 0.63 WHIP. 50-21 with a 2.92 ERA and 0.88 WHIP Overall
Though I haven't had as much time to play this year, so this is High 600-Mid 700 level, haven't played enough to make WS yet

Well if it works it works, and those numbers seem to suggest it works so I'd keep doing it.

I know what's coming and still can't hit him. Slider is like a wiffle ball pitch to me.
-
You can tell when the time is right to bring him on. If youāre SP sliders arenāt fooling the oppo then do not bring in O Day.
His ERA for me is about 2.5 and he is nearly at parallel 3. He is decent. Just avoid the sinker.
-
Appreciate this little tidbit of help. Iām always looking for advice.

I really wish they had separate forums for online/offline players. So many times Iāll read a compelling reason to pick up a player only in a future post to see āOh yeah, I only play against the cpu on rookieā

No offense, but that is ridiculous.
How about one for vaccinated and non, while we're at it?
If there is no separate forum for Microsoft & Sony, how could SDS possibly pull off separate forums for on and offline?
Just because we play the CPU doesn't mean we do on Rookie, although I have for stat grinds. -
I like him alot hes very difficult to hit and that slider is filthy.
-
His release has always made it hard to hit him, but with the pitch tipping once you get into the higher levels with people who play/watch a lot of YouTube, it may be difficult to keep using him.
-
He can be a menace to guys who dont know how to read him. In the higher levels, I use him as a specialist for an inning or two mainly to mess with the opponents pitch recognition, arm angle etc. I usually take him out after an inning, many no doubters off of him in the higher levels lol

Tips his pitches????Lmao. Is this real life, or a video game. Lol. Good god

Patient lefties will kill him. He's still formidable against righthanders with that slingshot delivery.

Well, I sold Paxson and Blue last night. I think they are both garbage. Got 600k with nothing to do with it. I've tried almost everyone I want to. Still have Story I might sell too. They need to come out with some hitters and good RH relievers.

Itās only on the sinker from what I can tell. If you track the ball from his hand the ball is slightly on the ātipsā of his fingers. I canāt see he does that the other 3 deliveries. Tbh I donāt struggle against OāDay he is quite slow so you can react to most deliveries. Iāve only faced him twice and both times scored at least 2 runs.
When I have used him he got torn apart the other day in one game where I lost 18-13 or something
But generally you know the sort of player you can and cannot use him against. He would be useless with anyone in the 700+ range as they aināt gonna be swinging at [censored].

I havenāt faced him yet but I canāt see myself picking up on that very consistently -
