Omg I just faced him on the showdown and won but mannnn that screw is filthy. The change up is like a 23 mph difference than his fastball. I think on higher difficulties he will be really good,
When you know how to pitch with him, he’s extremely hard to hit. His pitches tunnel so well
The curveball and changed break like they’re falling off a table. Might be the nastiest pitch break I’ve seen on any pitcher this year. Velocity is low but wow.
Believe it or not, alot of my strikeouts come off the fastball by them swinging late lol
You slow their bat down so much with the screwball and circle change
Put ‘em in the rocking chair for pitching lingo. I pitched in college. I like how you think. After seeing 70mph and 80mph the 90 mph fastball looks 110mph.
I think it’s why people struggle with certain pitchers. They see outlier and think they need to spam it. Once the opponent times it, all the adjustment they need to make is slow down on offspeed whereas if you establish a midtier baseline for swing speed, when they time that, then they have to adjust faster for outlier or slower on changeup for example

Fernando is really good. I just got Mattingly in the run it back pack. I’m working in getting Fernando and Kellenic now. They both look really good.

I think he will be pretty easy to hit on All Star. HoF he will be touger. Legend, uhg, dont want to think about that.

He will be fun to use i have his 93 at level 5
Me too, just stopped using him when TA4 dropped. My stats with him are godly. This through RS and events
176.1IP, 49-5, 2.19 ERA, 0.63 Whip, 277K’s/ 2BB
I do not have my stats for RS i am at work but He was my best pitcher for a long time.
I’m one win away from WS and seriously considering grinding this out and throwing him in there for a clinching game since hardly anyone’s seen him in a while
So, it would be like the return of Michael Myers or something?
-
One of my favorite pastimes is to mess with people who swing at everything. I haven’t played that much ranked so I’m only in the 200s. King Felix and Maddux we’re throwing these guys I play for a loop. Pitch pretty much anything way out of the zone and WHIFF. I imagine Fernando will do this also
-
I can’t even get to him. The left handed before him eats me up every time.
-
I'm one of those odd people who can hit him. Actually rocked him on HOF (I know it's not legend). However on HOF is you put any 102 against me I look like an imbecile. I hit off speed 100x better than heat in this game. Yes I'm getting old.
-
I faced him on Legend this weekend. It was so bizarre. His screwball comes in at 83, but when I would sit back to hit it, my swings would be very late. So I would have to swing much earlier than what it visually looked like I should. I guess that’s why his screwball/change up combo is so effective.

Nice! I just clinched WS but used Verlander as he was at about 95% stamina. If it would’ve been anyone else, I woulda thrown in Fernando

Congrats on WS, I am not good enough to make WS, I do enjoy playing RS from time to time. With Wagner and Lou coming this week, I will grind out the wins.

That’s cool man. I’ve made it every season and usually takes me between 10-15 wins to get there and I stop. I have zero desire to try and squeeze out 15-20 more wins on legend and be miserable the whole time

It is a grind, I only grinding it out the first season, it took up to much of my time on this game, I went 40-36 or something like that.

I hear you, even I don’t enjoy grinding RS. Games are long, low scoring for the most part. My pitching makes me win more games than anything. I’m not a bad hitter by any means but my pitching keeps me in most games

I know I'm repeating myself but as someone who is decent at this game, but not great...legend is the most miserable experience.
I think I'm 64-13 in RS. So I would say above average and I am able to hit the ball on HOF. Legend is just ridiculous.
I'm close to visiting my optometrist to see if I need some glasses. That or a doctor and get a certain prescription so I can keep up with the 15 year olds.

All the adderall and red bull in the world wouldn't help me catch up to the warping fastball speeds I am seeing. I am having to guess outlier pitches on alll star. It is so bad I almost pulled the trigger and bought Insurgency Sandstorm last night just to by the time between now and Battlefield. Still might end up doing that.

Yeah I’m 88-23 with 5 of those losses on disconnects on my end. Nothing to do with the servers, just a problem with my router…. Anyway
Yeah i absolutely know what you’re saying, I hover around .280 on HOF which is good, not great

I would wager I'm around .310 on HOF
On legend I'm about .050 and that's being generous -
