No. And there shouldn't be. The screwball is pretty close though right now so give that a shot
It's an actual pitch, and one that has existed for a century. To say it shouldnt be in a video game representing baseball is incorrect. The problem has always been how they coded the pitch, not the pitch itself.
Right, but they don't know how to code the pitch, so it's better left out. When they did nerf Fierabend's knuckle last year it was useless. Would you rather have no Phil Niekro at all in DD or a useless one? That's my thought process

All-Star version of this card or we riot.

Same should apply to sinkers then. They cant code that pitch correctly either, so I guess they should remove it too.

This is a good point. 100MPH sinkers up in the zone, breaking balls that break up in the zone. But I never enjoyed facing knuckleballers in the game either so I hope if they do have Niekro or Dickey/Wakefield in the future that they will do it right

Bingo!!! Anti Knuckleballers have no issues spamming high sinkers.

Would love to see a Prime Tim Wakefield thrown in there. Then throw in a guy with an eephus pitch while their at it...lol

I’m glad Knckleballs are not in for the simple fact of CAPs. As I understand it the arm action is pretty different for a knuckler so you shouldn’t be able to throw 100 and then a nasty knuckleball... but you would see that every game online...

Late to the party but Mickey Jannis of the Baltimore Orioles is Knuckleballer

Lol, a 41 overall with 36 H/9 and K/9, pci will cover the entire window. Think I’d love to face him anytime.

We need an R. A. Dickey
-
Actually Mickey Jannis On Baltimore throws a knuckleball. He a 41 over all

I think RA Dickey Cy Young would be awesome

Be careful using knuckleballers because any decent player will hit tank after tank off of you.

Isn't it a knuckle curve? If so that's not even close to the same thing.
-
[censored] I want a Tim Wakefield card right fuckin now my guy. He was such a stud
-
Aren’t there two. The diamond Phil neikro and the common Mickey jannis
-
@mattryan04_xbl said in Knuckleball pitchers???:
Are there any knuckle ball pitchers available in Diamond Dynasty to use??
Yeah actually, he is a 41 overall and his name is Mickey Janis. He is going for around 2 or 3k right now. It’s up to preference if you want him, i personally think it isn’t worth it.
