When I originally planned Flame Thrower, he was going to be a closer with E Stamina, B Control a 100-102 MPH Fastball, have Fastball Life 4, Poise 4, Star Closer, 4 Consistency, Dr.K, and Intimidator. He was also going to have a maxed Knuckleball and Slow Curve Ball. I didn't manage to meet ALL of these goals, but he was a hell lot better then I ever imagined. Not only does he have every pitching ability but 4, but he also has 105 MPH fastball, a Maxed 2-Seamer, and most of all, B Stamina! Yes, that's right, a B-Stamina closer! He had D at one point (higher then originally intended) but then along comes the Doctor (and boy did he do a Good Job!) raising his stamina to B with a little extra-curricular help (it was actually high C's, but I raised it when I had extra points at the end to 115). He sadly only has 151 C Control and does not have intimidator( I didn't date Lucy early enough and I forgot I hadn't yet because I reloaded so often and the first few times I did). He also has two more pitchers, the slider and the fork ball (level 1's) because he had a lot of extra points.
Here are his stats:
Name: Flame Thrower
Team: Rangers (wanted a challenge if I ever used him for my life)
Pitches: Left
Form: Dice-K
Top Speed: 105
Control: C (151)
Stamina: B (115)
Pitches:
Knuckle Ball: 7 (Maxed)
Slow Curve Ball: 7 (Maxed)
2-Seamer: 3 (Maxed)
Fork Ball: 1
Slider: 1
Pitcher Abilities:
W/Risp 4 Vs. LH Batter 4 VS Runner 4 Poise 4 Fastball Life 4 Spin 4 Release 4 Recovery 4 Good Low Pitch Groundball Pitcher Star Finisher Dr. K Good Pick Off Good Delivery Good Reflexes Battler
(He is missing Intimidator, Gyroball, Lucky, and Safe Pitch)
Fielder:
Contact: 1
Power: 10
Run Speed: 7
Arm Strength: 9
Fielding: 7
Error Resistance: 6
Trajectory: 1
Fielder Abilities: Durability 4
Other:
Closer
Good Sense
He is pale and has fiery red hair (Flames). The announcer calls him Thrower. He is 21, has a black and red bat, a light brown glove, and a red and a black wristband.
In case your interested, his starting stats were (roughly):
77 MPH
Control: G (85 or something along those lines, I don't remember that one for sure)
Stamina: Low F's (35 or so)
Breaking Ball Pitches/Abilities: None
No Good Sense to start. I did Frank's arc for it and Battler.

I will have the password up tomorrow. Hope you guys can use this guy, whenever as a starter, a closer, a long reliever, or both (such as you have an injury and all your minor leaguers are bad pitchers).
I might use him in My Life and repost him with improve fork and slide balls and Intimidator (this guy gets so many K's that it shouldn't be a problem).
By the way, for some reason his Automatic ERA is 32-92? I don't think he's that bad...

Maybe it just assumes my fastball will get hit out of the park all the time or something along those lines. Who knows? I do have life on it.

Really? That's the only sure way to get it. And it's been figured out for a while.

Good player but I wouldn't use him. Daisuke's form takes forever, I always end up trading him because of it. And sometimes purposely allow baserunners.

With a catcher with a maxed arm, throwing 4, a pitcher with a 105 speed, and a good pick-off move, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. I did that for looks and so I could hit 104 actively.

I love Dice-K's motion so I can max out speed if I want. Alvin's is the best though. :wink:

I like Okajima's because it is more of a Over-Overhand. Which is awesome.

I also just love Dice-K's motions look. That's why I originally chose it (last year), but I then realized how you can max speed. I just have to pick-off a lot on the rare occasion someone gets on base.

Overhand 20 is awesome.
Same with Nomo's.

Oops, just realized I haven't even put up the code yet. When I start releasing players on my team, this guy will be the first. I want people to have a reason to check it out, so I'm ruthlessly using this.
