Press release:

The Sapporo Sluggers selected starting pitcher Jimmy Panther from the Brewers. Panther throws a fastball in the low- to mid-90's, a palmball, and a recently added slurve. Panther was a good pitcher in the minors. He went 3-1 with a minuscule 0.27 ERA and 20 K's in 5 games at AA, then was 1-4 with a still-marginal 1.54 ERA and 24 K's in 5 games at AAA. Panther also induced a lot of ground balls, only allowing 1 HR in 10 games.

Yay! Good job, looks a lot like I imagined. You also got some other abilities that will work good.

Can you post his password?

He throws a mid-90s fastball with good late life, a sinker in the low 80s, and a good rising slider called the "Ninja".

Press release:

The Sluggers selected Red Sox starting pitcher Rick Anderson. Anderson, 20, throws a fastball that tops out around 100 mph with good life, a good curve, and a good breaking pitch he calls the "sittCHG". Anderson has good control and stamina, and projects well as a MLB starter. Anderson started 5 games in AA and 3 in AAA, going 1-1 at both levels with a 0.81 ERA and 20 K's in AA, and a 2.77 ERA and 17 K's in AAA.

Great job with Allen!

DOB: 12-20-1985

4, A 14, A 228, E 7, F 4, F 4, E 6
Clutch Hit 4, Power Hitter, Spray Hitter, Push Hitter, Hot Hitter, Firstball HTR, Aggressive RUN

Gd strike zone: Right down the middle

Press release:

The Sluggers signed Tigers first baseman/DH Nolan-Yuniesky Steak. Steak, 22, is a tremendous hitter. He can hit for contact and power, as well as hitting well to the opposite field and with RISP! Steak, who is known as "N-Y" to most, hit .421 with a double, 5 homers, and 9 RBI in AA, and .667 with 2 doubles, 1 triple, 4 homers, and 9 RBI in AAA. He also drew an intentional walk in AAA, and took the loss in the AAA Championship, allowing 2 runs over 1 inning of work.

Allowing two runs over 1 inning of work? What are his pitching stats?

49mph top speed, G 20 control, G 0 stamina

Why do you pitch with your fielders?

Because I feel like it.

They're actually pretty effective, the CPU isn't expecting a 49 mph "fastball" right down the middle.
