I don't think It's possible to do that, because you can't really gamble for breaking ball POINTS, just gambling for breaking ball only. So, I wouldn't think you could do that. So sorry, no breaking balls, unless you convert him (sucessfully) to a pitcher in Season Mode, then you could teach him to learn a breaking ball.

As far as I know, you can't gamble for experience points. You can S/L and gamble for a 5-card practice to get more experience points, but there is no practice or Random Event that provides hitters with breaking ball points - not even if you have the Multi-Colored Spin Ball. Pitchers, on the other hand, have access to everything but Trash Talk.

Yeah, so if you wanted breaking balls, you could have started with a pitcher.

But then his defense at catcher would have been a C, so it's a catch-22. If we could only figure out how to get 2nd POS 4, all would be right in the world.

hey i'll make him

Eric's already doing that, sms. You just got to let him work. It takes him a little while to get players finished. We just got to be patient.

yeah i know not for me if i set my mind to it but anyway lightningman anymore requests you want done cause i'll get them up in about 1 maybe 1 and a half hours tonight

Making a near-maxed hitter with a 96 mph fastball and 120+ Ctrl requires S/L for 5-card practices on nearly every turn since they both gobble up technique points. That’s what takes so much time. It would have been easy had I started with a pitcher, but that wasn’t an option. The request was for B defense and Trash Talk, two things you can’t get if your 2nd POS is C.

good point man s/l is sloooooooooooooooooooooow

Game on. I manmaged to bang out a few more weeks once the long weekend with relatives finally ended. S/L for 5-card practices and gambling for MPH is painful. This will be the last hard-throwing hitter I make unless he starts as a pitcher first.

He's sick. We really need to start funding for your Wii.

Finished! Despite my best efforts, I couldn't get Star or Sparkplug, but I added Fastball Life and Groundball P so at least his 96 mph heater has some value.

Enjoy!

does the pitching stats even matter, i know hes a great player, but no matter what, you cant put hitters at a pitching postion, can you?

No, not really, but you can place pitchers in a second position.

Only with the DH off.
