Pitch Types

From MLB Power Pros Wiki

There are 25 known pitch types in MLB Power Pros, each assigned a direction on the 8-direction control stick.

A pitcher can have up to two pitches per direction. Generally, the pitches will break in the general direction of the control stick (fastballs stay up, off-speed pitches are down, curveballs and sliders break left, screwballs and shuutos break right).

The following list is for RIGHT-HANDED pitchers in Behind PITCHER View. For a south-paw (or behind-batter view), just swap left(down) and right(down).
I've included some of the in-game abbreviations.

Up

• 4 seam Fastball (4SFB) A straight pitch that has no movement, unless your pitcher has the Gyroball ability. The fastest known pitch.
• 2 seam Fastball (2SFB) A pitch similar to a fastball but drops down, with some arm-side run.

Left

• Slider (SLD) A pitch similar to a curveball that has horizontal movement.
• Hard Slider (H-SLD) Similar to a Slider, with sharper horizontal movement.
• Cutter or Cut Fastball (CUT) A pitch with horizontal movement. Used to jam batters.

Down-Left

• Curveball (CB) A breaking ball that moves diagonally.
• Slow Curve (SCB) A slow breaking ball that moves diagonally. Less break but more slowdown.
• Drop Curve (DCB) A breaking ball that moves diagonally, but seems to drop down.
• Slurve (SLV) A breaking ball that moves diagonally.
• Knuckle Curve (KNCB) The fastest diagonal pitch.

Right

• Shuuto -a sort of reverse slider (SHU)
• Hard Shuuto (H-SHU) Similar to a Shuuto, with a sharper break.
• Sinking Fastball (SIFB) Similar to a sinker but is faster with horizontal movement.

Down-Right

• Sinker (SNK) Similar to a curve, pretty much the opposite of it.
• Hard Sinker (H-SNK) Similar to Sinker.
• Screwball (SC) Similar to a curve, pretty much the opposite of it.

Down

• Changeup (CHG) A slow pitch developed to throw off the batters timing.
• Circle Changeup (CCHG) Seems like a 2 Seam fastball when thrown, but breaks suddenly, and much slower.
• Forkball (FORK) A type of changeup.
• Palmball (PALM) A type of changeup where the ball is held more in the palm.
• Vertical Slider (V-SLD) The ball seems to spin similar to a slider but drops vertically, with only a little horiztonal movement.
• Knuckleball (KN) A random erratic ball that is rather slow.
• Splitter (SPLT) A faster changeup. Used to create ground ball plays
• Foshball (FOSH) A type of changeup.

The custom pitch from success mode has been seen as an Original Pitch (ORIG) in the direction of the changed/upgraded pitch.
