Pipeline Past Showdown

It's not the worst showdown, but Nate Pearson is impossible to hit, with that pitch mix/speed variance. Much tougher than the actual boss card.

I got 3 hits off him in my run,(also had the winning run on 3rd when made the last out vs Cole, so I went into Giolito needing 10 runs.
I like to think because Pearson was so incredibly difficult Giolito became a cakewalk after.
Scored 7 runs and only 2 outs my first time through and it was 25-23 after that and very easy to complete with 25 outs left.
So I'm very thankful for Pearson, it would have been more difficult without him -
@MRAD2010_XBL I really enjoy them too and I'm sad the community has led to them getting worse every year. However, I think that led to them implementing diamond quest which I thoroughly enjoy.

I finally completed the showdown and used Zone Hitting doing it, never thought I'd see the day that I would be playing this game using zone and actually doing well with it

@Teak2112_MLBTS Call me a fool, i just lead Vladdy and hit bombs. But I guess you can bunt if you want.

I did finally finish it. I lost to AJ Puk, but then it didn't take long for me to get 6 runs against Giolito. I did hit a lot of HRs in this showdown. It was like a continuation of the Moonshot program!

But if you bat Vladdy second and bunted first its a 2 run bomb
Its not a difficult showdown, but I really dont enjoy the mode so will bunt everytime because its unquestionably faster to do so for anyone who cant hit .600+ without bunting.
-
I didn't bunt at all but it still took me 10 trys to complete it, finally just somehow started hitting HRs
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS Agree to disagree. I don't hit even close to .600 offline and I finished it in one try.
-
Don't need to hit .600, do need to be able to hit upper 90s though or nasty breaking.
I didn't used to like showdown much,didn't do well at it either
I changed my approach, I now go in with the approach that for how ever many runs I need I need that many base runners, don't try to get any specific types of hits, just hit the ball well and get base runners.i have had a much easier time with showdown since taking this approach. -

I'm not saying you need to bunt, just saying that its faster (unless its a tie). I want to finish as fast as possible because I think the mode sucks.
