Always go a breaker, a sideways, and anything, so i suggest something like a knuckle-ball, a knuckle curve maybe, and a SCB, or an original pitch instead of the knc,

Awesome Combo:
KNCB, because of the odd break
V-SLD, also the weird break
CHG, to trick your friends. If somebody ever tells you that a CHG can't be a surprise pitch, they are sadly mistaken.

Thanks guys.
I'll start this guy today, hopefully i'll finish him soon.
You can still make suggestions.
btw, i think i will make an original pitch with a regular name, that'd be funny.

Also Sjax, I have some good ideas for ORIG pitches if you want. Just PM me for them.

I prefer a more extreme CHG-type pitch, like the knuckleball. It's both a good change-of-pace and has ridiculous break.

the only thing i don't like about the knuckleball is that once it gets near the top levels, 6 & 7, it becomes nearly impossible to aim it other then high or low.

I had two weird pitches, so a normal one would throw them off.

The CHG is pretty useful against human opponents since it drops so much.

Gone are the days of ASB99-01 when the change was a HR pitch.

Only if it's a high level is it effective. Or, if you use what I said, get weird pitches like a KNCB and a V-SLD or KN, and occasionally throw a CHG.

I blast CHG all over the place. But I also ground out a lot with them too...

Okay, I wish you could do this. I mean, you CAN, but it would be REALLY, REALLY, hard. Make a guy with a 7 KN and a 49 MPH fastball. The KN would be as fast as the fastball. Somebody should edit someone and see if it works.

That would be sweet :D

I'm pretty sure that it would work, but I don't have access to the Wii right now.
