idk how anyone else likes facing him, but I’m fine if I never see him again. I consider myself an above average player, I got a late jump on this season but I’m 20-2 and usually have no issue tracking pitches coming in after an inning or two. I lost my first two of the year earlier today bc of some DUMB base running mistakes (on me, not any programming). But when I tell you I couldn’t hit this Whitley card, I mean I had no clue what to do with that sinker. Couldn’t find the cadence to time it up, it was SNEAKY fast. If dude had just thrown that pitch down the middle all day, he probably would’ve shut me out and got the W.
Anybody else have trouble against FW?

Yeah. And he gets shelled when I use him lol. I’m just loving it.

I used him during my RS run. His control isn’t ideal, but his pitch selection and speed separation are among the best to use in ranked.

He certainly kept me off balance all game. I won 3-0 I think? But I probably only got 2, maybe 3 hits off that sinker. I was sitting on his slider the whole game, only time I squared a ball up

On HOF difficulty, the sinker/cutter/changeup combo is lethal. He’s good for about 75 pitches though.
