At least he's a pitcher that won't be throwing 102 mph, right? /s

At least he doesn’t have a sinker or cutter.

I’m with you man. I’m 35, know I’m never going to commit to even trying to get to World Series. Happy just to be able to sneak a couple games in when I can.

What pitchers I’ve had best success with are obviously the consensus meta guys, like 99 degrom and FS Cabrera. Besides them, guys with great speed differentials between pitches and good to great control seem to do well at this level depending on your opponent’s plate discipline. Having a good sinker or cutter is always a plus at any difficulty.

Lee and Jenkins have been good for me. Ohtani has been mixed results but it’s just fun using his card. I had a couple good starts with FS Crochet back when TA2 came out but not sure if he’s still viable now. It was easier for me to pitch with Crochet than Glavine.

Haven’t used Vida Blue myself but faced him for the first time last night and he gave me fits. That was after facing Cabrera in back to back games. Saw Vida on load up screen, felt relieved to see anyone besides Cabrera, then proceeded to get diced up for the next 40 minutes.
