rroy0824 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Ok so i always wanted to do a dynasty here on this site, the only problem is that i never had enough time to play all the games. so i was thinking, what if i made a starting pitcher and just play his games. so thats what i am going to try and do. this dynasty will be a road to the show type thing. it will follow a pitcher i made named Shawn Ortiz, and his trip to the majors. i will start in single a baseball and over time i will move on to the majors. just a few things: everything that i can have is 2009 i play at stdiums that have been made for minor league teams on this site i am useing the defalt rules, with injuries,suspensions, errors and everything on. i will be playing on All-Star difficulty. unless i get better and move higher my player is an average to good player for his level. he will start on the Detroit Tigers single A team the Lakeland Flying Tigers. He throws a Fastball that gose to mid 90s,Changeup,2 Seamer,Curveball, and a Knuckleball. i will ONLY pitch, all felding is auto, and i exit and sim all batting, so im only in control of my player. i will also only play games in which my player is starting. once i feel like he should be taken out, i will take him out of the game and simm the rest of the game. if i think of something else ill add it latter this dose not mean im done with 2K9, i will still play it and mod it. Just wanted to try something new. well here we go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rroy0824 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 game one was a good game for me, i only let up one in the 6th inning i had a few walks but thats going to happen, got a lot of help from the team in runs. once i was out i thought the bull pen blew it but they managed to get me the win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So will the CPU call him up or is that a choice you will have to make on your own? im not sure if the computer can send players up and down in the regular season, but if i get one of those emails that said hey take a look at this guy, then i would move him up, if not then it will be at the end of the season, or it would be a jugment call on me. if good enough he may only have to go A,AA,MLB, because alot of prospects skip over AAA or get sent down there once they have been in the majors, we will see how it all gose though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yanksrcool05 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Boy, your pitcher isn't exactly a dime 'a dozen . Single A and he has a mid 90s fastball and a knuckleball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rroy0824 Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Boy, your pitcher isn't exactly a dime 'a dozen . Single A and he has a mid 90s fastball and a knuckleball. well theres a lot of people with mid 90s fastball in single A, its only 94,95 i mean i have seen high school pitchers with a low 90s fastball and as for the knuckleball, its not the best, it gets hitt alot so thats kind of realistic. and i mean even i can throw a knuckleball, not really good though but learned it when i was like 13. so i mean people can do it but i do get what u mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleChange11 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 well theres a lot of people with mid 90s fastball in single A, its only 94,95 i mean i have seen high school pitchers with a low 90s fastball and as for the knuckleball, its not the best, it gets hitt alot so thats kind of realistic. and i mean even i can throw a knuckleball, not really good though but learned it when i was like 13. so i mean people can do it but i do get what u mean As a pitching fanatic I will say that there's not as many people that throw a true 94-95 as is advertised. I saw Kerry Wood pitch in single A Peoria as he was making his comeback. He throws a true 94-95, and he stood out as a man amongst boys with his velocity. I've only played against one guy, Juan Acevedo (MLB'er for ~10 years) that threw a true 94, and this was in JuCo, and it was the kind of velocity that causes one to stop what they're doing and pay attention. I've played with or against 6 pitchers that have been drafted and/or played in the minor leagues, and the difference between 95 and 90, despite only being 5mph, is HUGE. Still, on the game, it's not going to be a hige difference, so I say keep it going as is. I don't know what the monetary difference between guys that throw 91-92 and get signed versus guys that throw 94/95 is, but the difference in a scouting report is going to be a full number (4/5 v. 5/5) or letter grade (B v. A). Pitching velocity is akin to 40-yard times and poundage of a squat ... there's a lot of claims of low 4's 40s and 500 pound squats, but the percentage of the claims that are legit are very small. I like the Libby scouting reports for accuracy and I find that their velocity numbers are often 2-3mph less than some of the other claims. To quote Bull Durham, 94/95mph is "some serious sh!t. Serious sh!t". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rroy0824 Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 well im sorry i swear though there was some high school senoirs that threw 91-92 and they never made the majors so i thought that a player that is in minor leagues would be faster then a high schooler that wouldn't do much thats what i was thinking but to tell u the truth, there still hitting me all over as u see from my last game :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleChange11 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 No need to apologize or anything. You're fine. 91-92mph in HS will definitely get you a scholarship somewhere (if it's legit). Where that is depends on some other things, like secondary pitches, grades, region, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
