My guess would be it's only last name.

I'm thinking the easiest way to do that is to CAP with a last name of a current starting pitcher and go into exhibition and play a game against that pitcher until you get a hit. Or get lucky in RttS and/or Franchise

Can you just play against the same team you are controlling so that both starting pitchers are the same. Or play against the all star team and face the same pitcher you are starting?

Not likely. For whatever reason, The Show has not allowed mirror matches at least since '06 (and probably before). I always found it an odd series quirk. The only way a team can bat against its own pitcher is in batting/pitching practice mode.

Agree that the best course of acquiring this trophy is the CAP/edit player approach. Remember we can freely edit minor leaguers, and play minor league teams even in exhibition...

There has to be some reasoning behind having such an odd trophy. Maybe SCEA is trying to figure out what % of their player base even dabbles in CAP/roster editing?
