Kluber or Newhouser?
-
Hi. Who is better for high diamond pack? I like Kluber higher control but Im not so fond to his pitch selection and speeds. On the other hand Newhouser has bullet fastball, 20mph difference in pitches and leftie but lower BB and control. In my eyes Newhouser is better, but what do you think?
-
I couldn’t hit Newhouse to save my life. I think Kluber is easier to hit
-
I picked Newhouser. He is great. His two-Seam fastball is actually more usable than I thought. His sweeping curve also has crazy movement. I have an easier time hitting Kluber. But the pitch speed differential Newhouse has is great. Especially with may people complaining about how pitch speeds are too fast.

It comes down to preference, but I went kluber first. I have both at this point and Hal is harder to control, but both are effective. Kluber sinker and change up are really good together when it comes to
Throwing people off, and the cutter compliments them both really well. I usually stay away from his four seam, but it can also be effective. Newhouser has nasty breaking stuff, but he doesn’t hit his spots as easily as kluber. -

Until you get used to Newhouser’s release point

I’m just now starting to but I have hung a few a few with him and they get hit far
-
Thanks guys. I think I will get Newhouser first. Thanks for your opinions
-
I don't know what tiers you play in, but in Ranked Seasons Kluber is considered OP and unhittable in the upper tiers.
-
I would’ve said Kluber two days ago. But soooo many people picked and used him I now can score off him. So Newhouser
-
I read that Kluber is considered the best pitcher in the game so far, but I dont know, looking at all stats and pitches, Newhouser seems better to me

Kluber cause the sinker/cutter combo is a pain on HOF+

Nah

Newhouser is super easy to hit while kluber throws 120mph power sinkers
-
Don't sleep on Fingers. He's just as great as last year. Has the sinker, and his forkball looks just like his sinker...works like a great changeup. And a good slider.
-
I love my Kluber with one exception - I use Pure Analog and one of my favorite pitches to use with him is the cutter in on the hands to lefties, but if I can't get the stick turned perfect, that thing gets crushed because the velo isn't great.
-
I took Hitters, I have been able to hit both those pitchers just have to be patient as always. I am not a great hitter, I also am not at the higher ranks in RS. I need hitters cause that is where I am weak.

Ohtani and Oswalt have better fastball curveball combos
-
I think Kluber is the no brainer pick.
