Mo Rivera is Cannon Fodder
-
Does anyone else get excited when your opponent brings in the best closer in history (by the numbers)?
I am NOT an elite hitter, but I have yet (to my knowledge) not taken him deep when I face him.
Just beat a fella with a Prince Fielder bomb in the top of the 9th off of Mo.What the dilly?
For my two cents, everything he throws is on a hard, downward trajectory. Sit inside and wait for the cutter just off the plate.
Did they do Mo dirty? Can't beat his per 9's.

Not really just that people seem to pitch the same way with him. Cutters on the hands and sinkers away to lefties, sinkers on the hands and cutters away to righties.
The thing is that his cutter has more velo than the sinker which is usually the opposite for all pitchers.

Lot of people try to go inside on lefties with his cutter. Lefties, if timed well crush inside pitches. I still struggle mightily with a righty against Mo. I have all the confidence in the world hitting lefties against him though. Good thing I got a ton of switch hitters and only a few right handed bats in the line up
-
A lot of people just spam cutters and sinkers in predictable locations with him. If someone knows how to actually use all of his pitches and mix up their locations and sequences, he’s a nightmare to hit.

In limited online play he's been pretty dominant for me (granted I'm at lower levels online because I don't play online much) but offline dude is not even fair. 0.00 ERA in 90 inning pitched with him. Though I probably just jinxed him.

When someone goes from Degrom to Mo I [censored] my pants with excitement. They just lost the game!!

He has been my best reliever since he dropped. P5 pretty quick.

Sounds like you're facing people that don't know how to use him. Sinkers and cutters in on the hands, change up low and away against Righties.
Dot outside corner with cutters against Lefties.
He's unhittable.

@jogger171717_PSN please educate this first year player and an old guy to boot. Please give me a pitching lesson on pitching because I get lit up throwing the cutter. This is a serious question. I thought a high and tight cutter was the way to go but they seem to end up well over 400 feet away. Thx for the help.

Run it in off the plate to lefties, or away off the plate to righties.
