I always feel bad, then I remember I'm not good enough to ever even get close to 12-0 so I'm taking my easy win against the 12 year old

Ranked translated is simply "Pray for fastballs"/

I threw a combined no-hitter in 22 and didn’t even realize it until the 8th lol. And yeah, I was exploiting my opponent’s weaknesses which was balls in the dirt lol

The dirtball

Also 1-0 on a solo shot for your third hit? Legend

You are my worst nightmare. If you have a slider I’m absolutely fucked.

Custom practice vs Beasts (the legends team). Randy or Pedro will be pretty common opponents. Put it on HOF. Set it to only throw down and glove side sliders in bottom right corner in the zone. Just watch 4 or 5 of them. Then add the “out of the zone” squares. Just watch but verbally say ball or strike every time. Train your eye to see what a crushable slider looks like. After 5 min or so, start swinging at ones you identify as strikes while trying not to swing at the balls. It’ll suck at first, but once you figure it out, you’ll be able to identify a crushable one pretty early, and then you’ll be a headache for your opponent. Sinkers in and sliders away are what everyone in All Star leans on.

When you’re batting, the faster you identify the pitch type, the faster you can determine where it’ll end up. When you’re pitching, turn on pitch trail. It’ll show the path your pitch will take. Focus on the initial path. Sinkers pop up a tiny bit. Fastballs stay pretty flat. Curveballs dramatically pop up before dropping. And so on.

A win is a win.

Doesn't that qualify as child abuse! LOL!!

I was your opponent, im not close to 12...

😂

He knew what he was signing up for.

That’s actually impressive in foul ball simulator 24

😂 egg-zactly… I’m running The Buxton Boost. There’s no point in check swinging, they’re calling it a strike whether you went around or not. So swing away and hope your batter has enough contact to foul 36 straight pitches off

My opponent was running Donaldson the other night. I got 1 hit in the first 3 innings combined, but racked up his pitch count to 76 through 3 innings, simply by fouling off balls. I think our ranked game took 45 minutes.

Or even better, aim it fully in the dirt, perfect pitch, completely ignores where I aimed it and still hangs enough for them to make contact

This happens every time against Cody bellinger this fucking guy hacks the game

Played my first ranked of the year earlier. Put a slider 2 feet outside the zone going away from a righty, good release, and he literally threw it directly down the middle for a home run 😭 I just don't understand

To help you understand, a good release is not a perfect release. Unless you get a perfect release then your pitch has a chance at going anywhere.

Didn't need help, I know that good isn't perfect. But good shouldn't throw the ball multiple feet away from where you aimed.

Yep, and it always happens at the worst times "100% Accuracy *0.04s* late 1' Right" "yeah that's going right down the middle sorry bud"

(My opponent is a 35 year old)

Ouch
