Re: MLB The Show: The Hardest Pitch to Hit Is...

I have a few. Like most, the knuckleball and anything from a side-arm or submarine pitcher is a killer. Thankfully, I rarely face R.A. Dickey and I don't face submarine pitchers regularly.
That said, the changeup is the hardest pitch for me to hit that I see on a regular basis, especially if the pitcher has a drop in velocity from his fastball to changeup of 10mph or more.

I have so much trouble with changeups in The Show, I've stopped using the saying "when life throws you a curveball" and switched to "when life throws you a changeup".

Same side matchup it is a slider from a guy with a two seamer - it is like facing Maddux. Starts in middle and breaks from same point. Opposite side matchups I destroy sliders in. Go figure.

Re: MLB The Show: The Hardest Pitch to Hit Is...

I usually struggle with inside change-ups and sliders away. I don't do guess pitch so sometimes even though I know the slider is coming, it looks like its going right over the outside corner and then you see an ugly swing and get made fun of by the commentators.

Obviously knuckleballs can give me fits too as it does for everyone else. However I thought I was the only one who struggled against submarine pitchers...I HATE THEM!!!!

Of course the knuckleball and anything submarine. Those go without saying but I have trouble against the sweeping curve that has lots of break and sliders.

Slider low and away... by far.

I always swing and just SMH.

The slider for me. Oh and the change up I'm always out in front of both if I don't pick the pitch up.

It's a wonder the screwball isn't mentioned more, though it is rare to see one.
