Feel free to post your ideas.

Never heard of a knuckle slider, star change, pitchfork change, or vertical sinker.

I think the VCH is actually more of a SNK with more change.
Eephus would probably be a PALM vs. a SCB since it doesn't break horizontally.

Doesn't really matter the class. Fully upgrade it and it's unhittable

Thanks those are some good ideas

I call the rising slider the "Ninja".
The "Razor" to me would be a Slider Family pitch with more edge. (especially a CUT)

FORK with slower upgrade = "Tumbler"
FORK with more change = "sittCHG" (because Sittch teaches you the pitch and it works as a changeup)
DCB with more break = "The Drop" (or 12-6)
SC with any upgrade = "Corkscrew"

Well, I made a pitcher with the vertical curve. Curveball with more change. It was definitely more vertical than the reg curve. I'd say about 12-5 break.

If a player has a certain personality or "signature saying", base it on that. Like Happy Alexanderson's is called the Happyball and a self titled player of mine is RockNRoll.

Yeah, right now I'm doing players with real breaking balls like Gyroball and Vulcan change

Former Mariners closer, Kazuhiro Sasaki, threw a signature forkball known as "The Fang," or just Fang.

Are you going to remake Eric Gange then? He threw the vulcan change.

No, what I'm saying is that I am making success players with original pitches like these

Oh, I see.
