99 Ohtani….he isn’t a good pitcher?
-
His fastball and curve ball are very good for me. I just wish he didn’t only have a splitter instead of change. His slider sucks it’s more like a slurve. It’s very flat most times
-
Do not agree. He has 26 K's for me in 13 innings. He does give up some homers, but every pitcher in this game does. Now, as a hitter I cannot buy a hit to save my life.

The slider and cutter both float. If they were like typical sliders and cutters he would probably be filthy.

He fits right in with the other pitchers I have success with, here are some of my stat comparisons:
Ohtani 2.36 era 0.73 whip 95 ip
DeGrom 2.64 era 0.72 whip 81 ip
Cabrera 2.43 era 0.71 whip 203 ip
C Lee 2.60 era 0.77 whip 155 ip
Glavine 2.63 era 0.75 whip 174 ip -

Fastball- Seems best if you angle it with the release from the hand.
Slider-Floats and nobody chases it running in or away. Have had some success burying it or having it sneak back in from the hands on righties.
Cutter-Seems most effective to me as a change up. Can’t run it in on lefties and get them to swing fastball like other pitchers. It floats too much.
Splitter- Seems most effective out of all his pitches.People don’t seem to chase it low too often, but don’t square it up too much in the zone.
Curveball- It is a good curveball, but it is a curveball. Some dudes hammer it and never chase it and some dudes flail at it….

It really depends on the opponent, you have to find where they struggle. For some people, low fastball/splitter works well. Against righties, outside fastball/cutter/slider can make people look silly. The curveball can be effective, but don’t overuse it and definitely don’t throw it in the zone.
-
I think the problem is his throwing motion. It is very straight up and down so you don't get any sort of angle to help with pitch break. Most guys pitch from one side of the mound or the other and then have like a three quarters release (some are even more of cross body throwers. Ohtani is pitching from like 12 on a clock so easier to pick up what pitch is coming.

He’s my ace. I mostly pound the low zone with the occasional front/back door cutter. The curveball is absolutely devastating if used sparingly. This is mostly in league play on HOF.
He’s not the best in the game as just a pitcher, but combined with the bat, he’s definitely #1 for me.

Duplicate post.

Agree or disagree?
Disagree, he been dominate for me. Just have to set his off speed up by pounding the fb and tunneling all his pitches.
How do you pound the fastball though? People seem to not have any issue hitting his fastball. I really want to keep him in the rotation because it is really fun to play with him, but I have like a 6.50 ERA with him in like 120 innings online haha.
I throw it in on lefties outer half to righties. Early on most people lay off thinking it’s the cutter. Once they adjust start mixing in cutter, slider and spilt. Gotta keep them honest with some hard inside hit too.
-
I will also set up the fb early by throwing some cutters and sliders off the plate just to help lead them down that path. Also need to be able to dot the FB, drop it on the edge consistently.

With pinpoint pitching he's good. He has a lot of break on his pitches. Kinda unpredictable break. Sometimes huge break and his fastball is good,
I feel like it's the complete opposite, everything he throws seems very flat.
