Ehhhh, I've only had two games with him, but I haven't been very impressed. 96 control doesn't do much.
I really think that in this years game a pitcher could have 99 control on all 5 pitches and still randomly hang good release pitches all the time,
100% part of why I abandoned Maddux, even his 97 control which is his only plus is more like 70. Pitcher confidence plays too important a role imo and totally cancels control. Walk one batter or give up a hit and watch out
Agreed, which is why it's even more frustrating when you've got everything going, confidence is good and that one pitch hangs, the opponent gets one base hit, and suddenly confidence is shot and you are hanging pitches left and right.
