I submitted a bug report on this today. The problem is that, very often, the slow-motion "showtime" effect doesn't trigger when the pitcher tries to pick you off, resulting in him picking you off in real-time, which is almost impossible to avoid. Even when the slow-mo does trigger, it is considerably faster than in previous versions of the game. As FYI, it doesn't matter what your player's achetype is, I'm seeing this with all of mine. Hell, for that matter, I'm seeing it with my national league pitchers too.
