spin 4, and I still think that he should have level 5 DCB because Anibal Sanchez has a level 5 CB and he isn't as good a prospect as Kershaw.

Sanchez has a longer track record than Kershaw including a no-hitter.
Plus, maybe Sanchez doesn't deserve a 5CB in the first place. There are plenty of overrated players in the game.

His breakers are done I may up CCHG once more:

Year 1 Oct 3

84MPH (on track)
107Con (on trackish to Mid D)
84Stam (getting it to mid B should be fine)

I'm a little worried about making it to starter....

I don't know how Kershaw is with the glove, but don't forget to give him fielding and arm.

I hadn't even heard of Kershaw, what team does he play for?

pitches that are good enough to get their own name. Ex Clemens "Mr Splitty", etc

MR SPLITTY!?!?!?!?
WTF?
I could've come up with a better name for a pitch!
btw, what breaking balls is he going to have, anything besides CCHG and DCB?

Those are the only two breaking pitches he throws.

DrMario · **Posted:** Wed Oct 15, 2008 7:45 pm

Ummm DCB and CCHG it's all he throws I am pretty sure. He barely throws the CCHG too.

Why does he field well? Well the couple of sites I looked at said he has good control. I will check again.... If someone can look with me as well.

stevenjackson39 · **Posted:** Wed Oct 15, 2008 7:50 pm

power pitcher, CCHG should be 2 break, it apparently has "plus potential"
flyball pitcher, possibly release 2.
couldn't find anything about fielding though.

DrMario · **Posted:** Wed Oct 15, 2008 7:51 pm

PLEASE VOTE IN POLL

I saw that too, and am seriously considering 2.

How can I get Flyball P? And Release 2?

I also got Vs Lefty Recovery Gd Reflexes (fielding) (All from random events)

Should I give him Spin 4?

It's not about giving it a "cool name". That's about what it's colloquially called.
You don't want to go around giving original pitch names when you're creating real players, unless it's somehow tied to real life.

Clemens reached 96 mph in the second inning, striking out Reggie Sanders for the first out. Clemens did not throw many split-fingered fastballs. But the pitch he likes to refer to as "Mr. Splitty" was effective when he featured it, as he used it to whiff both Damian Miller and Tony Womack in the third.

i know that he liked to call it that and a cool name, but that'd be pretty weird walking into a clubhouse and hearing guys talking about "Mr. Splitty"

DrMario · **Posted:** Wed Oct 15, 2008 7:54 pm

I remember "Mr. Splitty"..... Enough of that though, this is Kershaw not Clemens.

What I meant was, don't leave it at G or F like some guys do with max-out types...
