Pitching on all star vs HOF

@MaxHarvest said in Pitching on all star vs HOF:
One of the huge problems is if you get someone to two strikes, they can contact swing and keen pci centered and basically foul off anything even remotely close to the zone. Grind you out until you hang one, happens to me all the time in all-star hell. Most people power swing until two strikes also as the pci is so gigantic
Pitches are just a lot easier to hit in general. The break on off speed pitches are way less significant then they are on HOF. I think the speeds of the pitches are fine on both HOF and all star but on all star the stuff is just not as good. Pitches miss by about 8 inches on all star and hang way more then they do on HOF. Even with good input it feels like balls aren’t even in the same area code as where they were supposed to go.

If you really want to know how bad it is, go look at the top WS players' ERAs.
Oh I’ve seen them, but I mean those guys are playing against other top guys so it would make sense that they are so high. Those guys just hit everything hence why some of them have batting averages in the .400s. Even good players don’t have averages that high. My batting average this RS is just a little bit above .300 but I’m still putting up at least 8+ runs a game and recording like at least 15 hits every game. I’m normally a CS and WS player and my average every year has been around .285 and my era is around the 3’s. Right now my era is north of 5 and my ba is at .300 so yeah I think that itself should show that there is a pretty big inconsistency.

It’s been like that for years. I get it, WS players typically play this game 3-4 hours a day, so they’re going to have a better eye and control with the stick. At the same time, you would think they would be able to have an ERA under 4. It just shows, SDS Is clueless on how to make pitching better.
