laroquece Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I don´t know you guys but for me the best pitch to hit a Homerun in the game is with the Changeup, even better if the pitch is up in the zone......just making pure swing, not using the control stick up to hit homeruns....

RdSoxFan618 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 My favorite is Fastballs if you have on the Hitters Eye. They are very easy to time, and if the ball is up and in, consider it gone. Kevin Millar swing (pull the fastball) right out. The hardest pitch for me to hit is a knuckleball, because they are hard to get used to :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djfierce Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I'm not sure if I've ever gotten a hit with the knuckler. My favorite pitch is the changeup as well. Lots of time to watch it come in before hammering it. Timing the curveball is fun too, but I always swing at the ones that fall below the zone.

kgbaseball Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I'm always way ahead of the changeup. I prefer sliders down and in to hit HR with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeveredSoulX Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I love the curve down and inside and seeing it fly away, whether it be in the foul grounds or over the Green Monster I shed a tear after I hit a grand slam once over that beautiful wall....it was the happiest day of my life!....and then I realized it was a game and nothing to get emotional over!

philthepat Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I used to be terrible at hitting knuckleballs, but after a certain amount of time something just clicks and you end up being able to crush them. The fact you never really see them doesnt help (wakefield, haeger, dickey.. thats about it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Only 6 guys that throw a knuckler in my roster, so it's quite hard to get used to hitting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeveredSoulX Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 You know the knuckler would be an awesome addition to any pitching set but since it's so hard to control, you'd want to teach it down in single or double A before you take your hand at it with better hitters - a mean knuckler could close any at-bat, but everyone who is a pitcher it too scared to use it, let alone learn it unless you've done it for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie_rick Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I like the two seam fast balls that come in towards the batter. I have got a lot of Pedroia's home runs that way in my dynasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollydodger Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 fastball on inner half....i look for it on every pitch, so when it happens....BUBYE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 i'll take a fast ball low and inside any day of the week. the one that gets me are the slower ones. and then those damn submariners too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felonious Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I usually have no trouble hitting an opposite handed pitchers slider if thrown inside. Also a 4 seemer high in the zone is basically gone everytime with a semi-decent power guy. The pitches I have the most trouble hitting are low curves out of the zone and change ups just about anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ro290190 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 The joys of looking for a change up without hitters eye on and getting it, makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
