So

TSPD: ?
CTRL: D-C
STAM: Mid-B-Low-A?
Breakers
3DCB
2-3SLV
1CHG

?

so just to consolidate it here, I had:

Jordan Zimmermann - Nationals, righty SP, FB top speed 98, SLD 2, CB1, CCHG 1

AgentP had:
96/C/B/cb 3/slv 2/Groundball P/Recovery 4/wRISP 4


His walk rate is exceedingly low compared to other starters I've done (1.89 BB/9 career) so B control is fine.

Stamina shouldn't be too high - career average is under 6.1 IP per start, only 7 career CGs in 138 starts. A stamina would be right out. So whatever gets you to 6.1 innings - that's a solid B, but not far into B range IMO.

He also allows very few homeruns (0.82 HR/9 career), so anything like spin 4 or fastball life 4 seem OK to me. He should have a blue or three to emphasize his good-ness. We can look at scouting reports to see which blue(s) fit best. From what I see, he throws the fastball around 66% of the time - you don't do that without having it be decent, so some movement or spin on it seems doable.

He allows a decent amount of SBs - not so many to earn him Release 2, but please avoid Release 4.

Groundball rate sits at 43% lifetime...that's decent, but I typically do 46%+ as GB pitchers.

Here's the important piece: lefties hit him better, standard for a righty. so the most important ability to AVOID is Vs. Lefty 4. Seriously - there are some AAA games where you face almost entirely lefties (MonMonMonkeys, and then the GalaxySharks) and by that time, just ONE lefty bunting into an out will earn you Vs Lefty 4. So to be accurate, you'll have to get scouting over the hump separately, and then walk or bean-ball the lefties you face in those games to avoid the ability.

It's a pain, but I've done it twice now (once with a lefty, which was crazy).

Sorry I ended up w/ VL4 Alloutwar. I just cannot stay away from it.

It's okay. I am the only true master on the board.

This just in: detroittigers15 has challenged you to a fight for title of True Master of VS LH Batter 3

Negative on that. I am the master of vs LH 3 lol

Ps2 doesn't count rob

You should have been using that slurve to hit lefties in the foot! Think, Zero!

I usually keep my coach eval low enough to avoid playing AAA altogether, unless I'm trying to make a really good pitcher (which Zimmerman is, so if I was making him I probably wouldn't do that anyway).
