Appreciate this little tidbit of help. I’m always looking for advice.

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.

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

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

He doesn’t. Keep using him.
Yes he does
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.

It’s only on the sinker from what I can tell. If you track the ball from his hand the ball is slightly on the “tips” of his fingers. I can’t see he does that the other 3 deliveries. Tbh I don’t struggle against O’Day he is quite slow so you can react to most deliveries. I’ve 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 ain’t gonna be swinging at [censored].

I haven’t faced him yet but I can’t see myself picking up on that very consistently -

If his fingers are apart it’s either a sinker or a change up…if they are together it’s a slider

Honestly reading these comments I'm convinced he's safe to use. No way guys are seeing different pitch grips and finger placements while batting.

In all honesty i prefer him over 99 Rivera.
(So shoot me!)

From strike-zone hitting you totally can. I’d assume from any other hitting view it may be more difficult though since strike-zone is the closest view. My buddy told me the same thing though and I laughed and thought he was making stuff up. But then I just so happened to face him twice in ranked seasons (you can go back and check my game history) and you really can see his fingers and if there is space between them it’s a sinker/change-up and if there is no space (they are together) it is a slider. Crazy to think it’s in a video game but it is lol.
-
The main reason you can see his grip is the developers never “completed” his setup. He rarely brings the ball into his glove (if he does, it’s typically hard stuff), so you can see his grip before he even starts his windup.

Just because we play the CPU doesn't mean we do on Rookie, although I have for stat grinds.dont be dramatic lmao online vs offline compared to vaccination is insane dont ruin the post being weird.
a good fix to this could be a check box if your post as to do with offline/online/both
