89 Kluber

Thoughts on this card? I know his velocity is underwhelming but I pitch really well with Leiter and was wondering if he was comparable and an upgrade to my current rotation

Currently my rotation is

Leiter
Burnes
Buehler
Skubal
Arrietta

Kluber is worth it if you know how to pitch. This is the short answer.

The longer answer is that there are (basically) two or three types of SP cards that worth to use online. Those with outlier (FB/Sinker) and those SP's who have a SNK, Cut, and Cir Change or a mix close to that. The later is a SP that is best used with someone who knows how to pitch. Meaning, they use these types of Pitcher cards to analogically play chess with their opponent. Mixing up pitches, tunneling, using all corners of the plate, changing speeds, being unpredictable, figuring out your opponent's weaknesses, etc. A Pitcher with a funky delivery should also be mentioned, because if you cannot see the ball being released from the Pitcher's hand well, that will also make things difficult for a batter.

Personally, I would rather face a Randy or JD card (that has less than 85 control) than a Leiter, Halladay, Maddux, Kluber etc. card being used by someone who knows how to pitch. I have been surgically cut up by these users in the past (even on AS), and it ain't fun.

How is this card even acquired? Couldn’t find an avenue to it or the Correa card

@urbanphilosophy_XBL it was a weekend classic reward for wins within the first 6 games played

@domdw99_PSN I must not have qualified for the league in which it was rewarded
