Can someone please tell me what the point of having two pitches going the same direction is? (E.G. Slider AND Cutter)

they break different (sharper, more break, etc.) And you keep the computer (or your friends) guessing as to what pitch you are throwing, even in the same direction.

I didn't think second pitches did anything. I thought the main pitch you had going that direction was the only one possible. Do you do something on your controller to choose which pitch that direction you want to throw?

I use the classic controller, so if someone can figure out what to press with the classic controller, that would be a lot of help.

I'm a big fan of having a splitter and a changeup. There's a decent velocity gap between the two (unlike between the change and forkball) and it really lets you mess around with different speeds.
