I think we should try to leave out the usual suspects (Willie Calhoun, Mark Canha, etc), and focus on the cards who really don't deserve to rake. For me, it's Zack Greinke. I know he's a good hitting pitcher, but I constantly hit bombs with him, both online and offline. Despite having great pitching cards I can't keep Greinke away because his arm is just good enough, and his bat is a savior for me
Players you shouldn't rake with, but do

I agree. I used Greinke’s sig card all last year despite having better options by the end due to his hitting. Another one is Jake Lamb. I still love his swing even though his attributes are hot garbage compared to the 17 Jake the rake
SDS
Anthony Santander hits tanks used him in MTO and in CQ grinding innings and plays way above his attributes. Have not tried him at all online no reason to at this point.

Been saying it for a while now when I made my post saying "move over Joey Gallo we got a new MLB GOAT". It is Byron Buxton. The ultimate "glitch" card. And you can actually use the word glitch because both his LS and FOTF card shouldnt hit the way they do.
SDS
Zack Collins crushes it against rhp, which the stats would indicate, but he backs it up on the field too.

Lol my opponent today, don sutton hit a bomb on a down and in sinker. Dude that 3 hits, all bombs. Struck him out like 14 times but only one was hung. The others seemed wonky

Dwight Smith players tourney card. I am not very good, but every time he comes up I assume I’m getting extra bases.
SDS
LS Arenado. I don’t like his stance being so close and it throws me off aiming my pci somehow. But I have 3 homeruns in last 2 RS games with him without touching the ball with the pci.

Ji-Man Choi 73 from Rays. I hit 6 home runs and drove in 14 in 7 Conquest games. Batting average was close to .600.

Jonathan Villar rakes in MTO for me. In fact I have his swing on my CAP. Been pretty nice so far.

Do you always trade for him, too? Dude is so versatile, he completes almost any lineup in that mode.
SDS
Gregorius. And i'm not talking about the POTM card, I'm talking about the silver card which I've picked quite a lot in BR. Also, prospect leonys tavaras is hitting .619 for me in over 40 plate appearances.

Most definitely. Also, Gregorious, Dickerson, and Joyce smash the ball too.
