Is he in the game? He made his debut May 24th and I'm not sure when the rosters were finalized beacause he may be on of the greats....


Thanks!

No, they only do starting rosters, sorry.

Don't be sorry, I'm happy, now I can make him!

Now I know he throws a NASTY 12-6 ( or is it 1-7?) curve but is the original curve the best I'm going to get or should I try a Sittch "make your own" pitch?

Rookies don't deserve an original pitch IMO. As far as creating real players, I'd save it for pitches that are good enough to get their own name. Ex Doc Gooden's "Lord Charles", Clemens "Mr Splitty", etc

I know, I was thinking it would be to much work to get past the walk on water and crap. But I would just call it the 12-6 CB or 1-7 CB (whatever one it is). I was doing it beacause he throws a 12-6 and stuff..

Of course now that I think, they all throw different traj. their isn't just a "curveball".....

DCB should work fine for 12 to 6.

It may not be accurate, but then it's not like the other pitches are completely accurate anyway.

Post subject:  Re: Clayton Kershaw
I think I am going to stay with a regular curve, partly beacause the DCB is way to easy to strike someone out with.....

Post subject:  Re: Clayton Kershaw
no, no, no, don't because you want to be accurate. Here's my suggestion: (remember rookies get a little bit lower stats because they're so young)

ctrl: high F's
Stam: B
tpspd: 94

DCB: 5

I don't know his other breaking balls...

Then make a smaller Lv pitch.

Make sure his Top Speed is what it really is in real life, it annoys me when people make their fastball slower than it really is just because they're a rookie. The stamina, control, and pitch levels can be lowered if you want, but not top speed. But, make him have a drop curveball because that's what he really throws.

Well it says he throws a mid 90s so I think top speed at 96 is fair.

Lvl 4 drop curve (it's improving) lvl 1 Circle Change.

Post subject:  Re: Clayton Kershaw
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.

more nagging :mrgreen:

I don't think a rookie's control should be that high... E level sounds good.

He has very good mechanics. He had 100Ks this year.

I have been making all my guys pretty good, like Pedro Alvarez all Cs which is actually realistic...
