Hal Newhouser

I threw a perfect game with him today . 16 strikeouts . I don’t have anyone else to tell so I am posting it here

Good job, dude!

Haha thanks I needed to hear it after a brutal night with showdown last night

Impressive OP!

Congrats OP...that is not easy.
I have only thrown 1 in RS since 2015, and that was with Mets Diamond Harvey in the '15 Show version, I think.

I was one strike away from a perfect game with Hal this weekend and gave up a single up the middle. The guy finally caught up to the fastball.

Not kidding I threw a 16 SO 4 hitter today with him, Newhouser is the metta.

Feels weird but after 30+ RS games I've yet to face this dude.

I feel is almost unhittable in a rs game

Amazing. I wish i took him instead of kluber.

Great job!

Amazing, I did the same last year with his 91. The guy quit right when the final out of the game happened.

We need 99 Frank now to put a stop to this.

Good [censored]. I can 2nd that with Hal. I have 2 with him. Got one on Cinco de Mayo with him. He is nasty

Nice work! I threw a no no with one walk with Brady Singer last night, opponent was as bad as me for swinging at junk, which helped, but always feels good!

I don’t understand how he is so hard to hit. His fastball is fast but it’s flat and I still can’t catch up to it. What’s dumb is that I’m late or early every time.. how am I early? Lolol

My rendition of Hal likes to throw a lot of balls, and then hangs one smack dab in the middle for a dinger or few... Pure analog, good/perfect releases... every time.

My version of him is the same, glad I'm not the only one. Once my opponent figures out he can sit offspeed, I'm usually in trouble. I try to bury that sweeping curve, but inevitably one or two sneak over the middle of the plate.

I can't hit him at all. I'd much rather face Kluber and his sinker.

me too! I more or less have a good plan in place with all my batters now with Kluber, can usually square him up pretty decently unless I'm just going against a dude that really pitches well. Just don't see Hal enough and most of my OP bats are left handed so he is definitely a big problem for me.
