Any tips on how to beat this. Can’t seem to get past chris sale for some reason. Also I am a below average player typically play on allstar and sometimes a couple games on HOF. Any tips would be appreciated.

Yes, complete extreme mini-seasons and conquest. Buy Baez, Glavine, and Sutter. Skip Showdown.

What do you know. A post we can almost agree on. Forget buying those players and just play Mini Seasons on Legend. Get 10 wins get 30K's hit 5 HR's beat the Map and finish 8 or 9 of the moments and you will get Griffey.

Hmm I appreciate the responses. I will give it a try. I didn’t even think about doing the mini seasons. I got 7 of the moments done and I couldn’t take it anymore hahaha.

I got Griffey Sunday night. I could only get 9 of the 13 moments done. I went to Mini Seasons and won 10 games on Legend, got the 30K's hit 5 HR's etc. Eventually I finished 10 of the 14 MS requirements. I beat the Conquest and then used the 4 players to get the rest with PXP. It's a grind but can be done. Good luck to you.

Let him pitch, he’ll throw mistake pitches, they give you 20 outs to beat him, use that to your advantage

Conquest was far easier than any other Extreme map previously. I was able to complete all but 2 of the moments (Ohtani & Adolis) are the only ones I couldn't/haven't been able to get past yet.
Like the OP, I can't get past Sale either. Which is surprising as I usually do fairly well against him. Currently sitting at 64 points and all I really want is the Perfect Cain card to try. Not really interested in Griffey too much. Currently at 6 wins in Mini on Legend so should have him by tomorrow.

I'm about to take on minis now and it will be my first time playing on legend. I've played on HOF a few times but mostly all star. But I DO NOT want to do the moments and the showdown so I'ma see how far the 30ks 5 hrs and 10 wins gets me lol

It's 15 homers with Piazza.....have fun!

Haha I tried the minis on legend I couldn’t hit anything 🫣. Going to try and stick with it a few games and see if anything changes.

If you can pitch and have a good eye, you can do it.
It's sweaty af, but I always found a way.
I went 5-7 going for at least the 5 wins on Legend. -
I have no problem pitching I am just so impatient at the plate and swing at everything haha. You can throw it 20 feet over my head and I tell myself not to swing but my finger mashes the hit button. So I am currently doing the extreme conquest. Did the 1st 5 games on hall of fame. When I played it definitely didn’t feel like hall of fame. I didn’t have any issues hitting compared to HOF on ranked where it just seems like the ball zips on by

Sit middle middle until 2 strikes, make him throw pitches to tire and hopefully throw a mistake, or draw a walk. Also, have speed and good bunters on your bench. If you get a runner on 1st, play small ball to get the runner over and avoid double plays.

Jiggidy gave some good tips. I will share what some major league friends and associates taught our baseball team for approach at the plate as I have found when I follow it in the game, I play so much better.
0-0, 1-0, 2-0, 3-0- those are favorite pitch only approach ( so either sit fastball in a certain part of the plate, or if you expect a breaking ball, make sure it’s hung…otherwise no swing.
0-1, 1-2, 2-1, and 3-1- anything you can drive. Looking for a pitch you can barrel, this can be anything from a fastball to off speed, but has to be something you can drive. . Lay off everything else.
0-2, 1-2, 2-2, 3-2- look away, protect inside. They teach that inside pitch is a reaction swing but you have to be ready and expect to bathe anything in the zone starting away with 2 strikes.
The biggest mistake people make is thinking they have to swing at any pitch in the zone ( which leads to lousy contact or swinging at pitches out of the zone). Patience and knowing the count and what to look for is the key.
Hope this helps.

Fantastic post. Some of those are easy to forget and make such an impact if one abides it. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of making poor and weak contact by reaching at balls out on the black. Sometimes you just gotta tip your cap like you say and wait for the inevitable mistake because it IS coming.
Thank you

My only advice for showdown is to be patient and try to steal bases to get in scoring position.
