You obtain an Original Pitch after playing a Challenge card to complete your Dad's story arc as a pitcher. This pitch is also referred to as the "named pitch" or "custom pitch" by game players. The original pitch event allows you to modify the movement/velocity of one of your breaking pitches. You are also able to change the name of the pitch to something original.
Once you have obtained the original pitch, Dad will come back in future random events and give you the opportunity to further modify your pitch using the options below. The only limit on the number of follow up visits from Dad is the amount of weeks without fixed events you have left in the game.
Original Pitch Criteria
- You must already have acquired at least a level 1 proficiency with the pitch.
- You cannot modify your 4SFB
- The pitch must be the primary breaking ball in a given direction and not the secondary. For example, say you have both a CHG and a PALM, both of which are down direction pitches. When Dad asks you which pitch you want to work on, only the primary will be an option to choose from. So if you acquired the CHG first, it would be a choice to modify but the PALM would not.
- Because it is a secondary pitch, you cannot convert a 2SFB into an original pitch.
Breaking Pitch Behavior There are three basic components to a breaking pitch.
- Velocity (speed) - the rate of speed of the pitch. A breaking pitch is always slower than a straight fastball.
- Vertical movement - the degree of downward movement
- Horizontal movement - the degree of sideways movement
Pitch Modifications These charts list the behavioral effects of your choice when Dad asks how you want to modify your pitch.
