Figured I'd post my pitcher's stats here before I post the code. If I'm in the wrong board, my bad.

Top Speed: 91
Control: B 155
Stamina: B 139
Type of Pitches: 4 Slider, 2 Curveball, 2 Forkball, 2 Sinker, and 2 Original (My brother named it Sinking Gyro)
Abilities: w/RISP 4, Vs Lefty Batter 4, Poise 4, Release 2 (I rarely s/l, that's why this one sucks), Groundball P, Good Reflexes, Consistency 4, Gyroball

I didn't really concentrate on batting that much. For a pitcher, is it good to concentrate on just pitching, or should you devote some time to batting and fielding as well? I have Pivot Man for fielding, otherwise, that's it.

On a scale of 1-10, how did I do?

:shock: better than I've EVER did! I'll say 9, because there's always room for improvement.

When you said you thought this was in the wrong forum, you were right. It should go in the Password Exchange 2008.

I wouldn't worry about batting for a pitcher unless you plan on using him in the National league.

Mr Welz and SF96 can focus on fielding as well. For us NORMAL people :lol: we should mainly focus on pitching abilities.

Lol they aren't normal
They already figured out most of the game's secrets and strategy
i'd say 8.5

Not bad. Would be a good #3 pitcher in an MLB rotation. But compared to some success mode pitchers... 8/10. Next time, try going for one level 5-6 pitch instead of a bunch of mediocre ones.

Well, if put into Life Mode, he would be a force to be reckoned with.

Uh, can you post the password, please?

Although, against the human players you'll have a bit of trouble
can't wait to see him in season

If I were to compare him to the best, almost maxed pitchers I've seen so far, (only 2 or 3 I've noticed), I'd give him a 6. On a slightly realistic scale, I'd give him an 8. Very nice job.

7 out of 10, nice try but if you read some of the logs, like smileys then you can see where to improve.

Just wondering why you grabbed pivot man. Pivot man is for turning the double play at second base and is a useless skill for a pitcher.

I also agree with the post that says to focus on making one pitch higher then add others.

You should only work at batting skills when you start to get an almost maxed out pitcher like the ones made by smiley and me. Although, smiley focuses on fielding and I do hitting and speed but that is only once you have at least 3 level 7 pitches and stamina over 180 with an over a 100mph fastball. If you do not have these stats (or close to getting them) then you should focus on making an american league pitcher and boost pitching only. HOwever, I have to give you a warning before you try to make an uber-pitcher. My ronsp, and vicsp, and smileys pitcher will take you close to or over 1000 reloads so you will need some time.

If you look at Smiley's log and mine from the standard start character it is not uncommon to be at near or over 100 s/l. HOwever, I am posting a pitcher I just made with no s/l so everyone can see the difference.
