Help pitching with primary sinkerballers

Just for context i play classic pitching with armors 25 sliders. I struggle with primary sinkerballers when pitcher logan webb is one of ghe best pitchers in the game yet through a month he has a 5.87 era ans has given 11 homers up. Any tips for where to throw the sinker and where when facing lh and rh batters?

I place mine down and inside on the batter. To change it up, sometimes down and middle to induce groundballs.

It seems in my experience if you throw a sinkerball away, make sure you are out of the zone cause mine get crushed.

Backdoor the outside corner to eighties and down and in as mentioned. He should have a slider , so if you're getting ahead early you can use it to induce swings out of the zone. You can't get stuck in the same sequencing though.

Yeah, down and in are extremely hard to hit when they are thrown on me so that makes sense lol
