I'm hitting .261 and still have a 66% win rate, this year. I rely on pitching. I'm also on the other side of the world and have run into minimal connection issues.
What does you're pitching record/era look like in AS? What does you're typical AS game look like? I'm having a hell of a time getting out of AS level. It seems like some of my opponents hit everything hard, even off the plate stuff that kind of seems like it should be very difficult to hit.

If you want to boost your avg and your below 700 probably just as well playing RS.

I think averages with many players are higher due to grinding events a lot more this year rather than playing Ranked.

Wow...no one wants to play Mitch lol

I suck at hitting. Well fastballs anyway. I just can’t pick it up fast enough to hit them. I’m always late. I have to sit off speed. My last 7 online games 4 were against diamond and 2 prestige and one silver. I’m a silver 70 so yea I get crushed and it’s disheartening. Like matchmaking can’t be that bad or your telling me there’s no one lower available to play
It is disheartening - I've grinded a lot this year (thanks Covid!) and now at level 92 diamond, but that doesn't mean I'm that good. When I was in the silvers I'd see a diamond or prestige player and immediately feel like giving up, which puts you on the back foot automatically.
Just because they are a high rank, doesn't necessarily mean they're very good. I say that as someone ranked in the 600s at the moment who still can't hit a curveball. Stick in there, it'll come!
(and in response to the original thread, think I'm hitting about .255 overall, with an OBP of about .256 having walked about twice in 100 ranked season games!!)

I'm killing it at #8,039 in the Wild Card group with a .217 average and a .673 OPS. Also, a 4.61 ERA. So, yeah... I'm pretty good.

No, I'm hitting like .200 in Ranked Seasons. I'm not kidding. I get by on my pitching.
Doesn't matter how good your pitching is if you have good internet. You will be throwing slow pitch softball to these top players with their "magic" internet.
You mean shiternet?

It’s insane like I get almost to 700 then face a couple insane hitters and drop back down to low 600s. Been like that all week really pissing me off. Like [censored] you fools should be on your way to WS not sh1tt1ng on people like me.
Yes sir, me too -
My averages are inflated due to events

Alr I have another question for you, Demise. If I have “magic internet” that gives me an advantage, why am I one of the worst pitchers in the game? If my opponents were getting 110 mph fastballs, which is what you’ve described in the past, I would have a very low ERA. My era is 8.44 this szn. No way my opponents are at a disadvantage and I still have such an awful era
Regardless of connections, you are still facing really skilled players at that level. Being a top 50 player, it is fair to say most of your games are against highly skilled players. Maybe you don't mix pitches or locations.
So you think everybody sees the same thing every game? You think 95 is 95 every game? I can promise you it is not. I'm not going to take the time but say Wood is pitching. One game you are lighting him up and the next you simply can't catch up to it. If you did a side by side video of those pitches, you would see a difference in how fast they arrive at the plate.
despite all the hate you get i actually think you are on to something...
