Splitters Bounce & Get Hammered for HRs
-
Today, pitching, on an 0-2 count, I threw a splitter in the dirt --- two or three balls below the zone. The batter hit a 440 home run.
That seemed ridiculous, so I tried an experiment....
...I threw this guy nothing but splitting BOUNCING in the dirt for the next 3 or 4 innings. He hit 6 or 7 grounders to first base for an easy out....HOW he did that defies physics, BUT...
...he also hit FOUR HOME RUNS on splitters that bounced before the plate --- and they were monster shots to center field.
This is simply NOT POSSIBLE in baseball.
I am not sure HOW they are cheating to do this --- or how they are exploiting code to do this, but SDS needs to FIX IT NOW.

i think they didnt actually bounce or they got lucky.....they arent cheating, its just the game physics are shaky on low balls. i give up lots of well below the zone breaking pitches, sinkers and change-ups for bombs. I dont know how they get under them but they do.

The animation showed the ball actually bouncing almost every single time, so....

Calling BS. Provide a video of a ball bouncing and then being hit for a HR or you're simply trolling. When the ball is in the dirt the game defaults to a catcher block animation. I don't think hitting the ball after it's bounced is even possible code-wise in the game. Sorry, but proof.

The year ATL new ballpark opened or it might have been the year after, I was watching the Phils play the braves and double herrera took an ankle high pitch and hit it inside the chop house restaurant.they said it was the 2nd lowest pitch hit for a homer was something like 11 inches off the ground if I remember correctly
Edit: just googled "lowest pitch hit for a homerun" and joc pederson has the lowest measured by statcast at 8 inches off the ground, and Santander in 2022 hit a slider 9 inches off the ground, which is just above the ankle. -
This is cap. It's impossible, never done once.
