Power Pros Forum

1.) Pick a windup that is long (Sittch, Brad Lidge, ect.) This allows you to have more time to tap A when throwing a fastball so it is faster.
2.) S/L for good starting. Right Handed-82mph, E Stamina, F control Left Handed-78mph, E Stamina, F control
3.) You want to practice Accuracy first to get your control up to about a C
4.) You have to get Jaw as soon as you can. S/L for finding dog S/L for Gambler's Ring
5.) ASAP you want to get your Sittch training done. Here's what I recomended you get for each one.
-1. +48 technique +29 mentality Gd Pick off recomended.
-2. Cure Pr Sense or Gd Sense
-3. Whatever glove you think you need most
-4. Just get it done
-5. Just get it done
-6. Just get it done
-7. Get ORIG
-Slow fork
-Changing CB
-Changing SIFB
-Changing SNK
-Breaking SLD
6.) The Breaking ball that you need maxed out at the end is either your KN or V-SLD. You also want a maxed out 2SFB. Of course you want the ORIG but it doesn't have to be maxed out. The last breaking ball you want is a "slop" pitch. The slop pitch I recomend is either a SC, SCB or SLD it only needs to be level 2.
7.) When eating you want to have either a Spicy Dog Special (+50 vitality -15$) or Chinese Combo (+75 vitality -50$)
8.) You want to do a lot of working for Jaw to get money and more suprise bags so you can get Secrets of Pitching
9.) By the end of Year 1 you should look something like this
Top Speed-86
Control C
Stamina E-D
Pitches KN/V-SLD(5), 2SFB(3), ORIG(3), SLD/SC(2)
10.) Right after you move up to AAA save then go to Bison's Shop and use your discount coupon and buy as many Glove Waxes as you can then use them to boost your Top Speed.
11.) You want to the same thing at the end of the game.
12.) Recomended abilities are: Dr. K, Ground Ball Pitcher, STR Finisher, Gd Delivery, Poise 4, Recovery 4, W/RISP 4
13.) You can get Gyroball or Intimidator if you want.

Pitches: 4SFB, 2SFB(3), SLD/SC(2), ORIG(3-7), KN/V-SLD(7)

What do you guys think I'll take any suggestions

Nice. I'll use this guide

If any Mod ever gets on could they possibly sticky this

For the "slop" pitch, I recommend the SCB. It's so tantalizingly slow it throws off most batters. I haven't had much success with the SC or the SLD though.

I recommend getting a few breaking balls at the beginning. It will be easier to do well in games.

These are some abilities that you ABSOLUTELY NEED!!!
W/RISP 4
STR Finisher
Recovery 4
Poise 4

Gd Delivery is highly recommended.

Higher stamina (D) will allow you to pitch 2 or 3 innings.

Here is a link to a closer made using these basic steps:

(Go ahead and use him too!)

Whoa, hold here.................thats alotta stuff for a closer.

Do you want a good closer or not

I want an effective one, not unrealistic.

well then this guide is not for you I'll make another one if you want

No, because I'll try to come close to it.

ok

A maxed Knuckler is insane...........I totally understand that step.

V-SLD is also effective

I read that, but I never used that pitch.

See Greg Stamatopolis

oh see a lvl 7 fosh ball
