Okay, folks, let’s dive into my recent experiment with submarine pitchers in MLB The Show 24. I’ve been trying to find the best ones, and man, it’s been a journey!
I started by just browsing the rosters, looking for anyone with a funky delivery. You know, those guys who practically scrape their knuckles on the mound. I jotted down a few names, but honestly, it felt pretty random.
Finding My Submariners
Then, I decided to get a bit more methodical. I went into the player search filters and specifically looked for “submarine” as a pitch delivery style. Boom! That narrowed things down considerably. I found a handful of guys I’d never even heard of before.
I created a custom practice session and started testing them out. I focused on a few key things:
- Control: Could I consistently hit the strike zone? Some of these guys have wild deliveries, so accuracy is key.
- Movement: How much did their pitches break? Submarine pitchers are all about deception, so nasty movement is a must.
- Velocity: While not as important as movement, a little extra speed can make a big difference.
- Pitch types: What kind pitches they have?
My Testing in game.
I spent a good few hours just messing around, throwing different pitches in different counts. I even invited a buddy over to play some head-to-head games to get a feel for how these pitchers performed against a real opponent.
Honestly, some of the guys I thought would be great were total duds. Their pitches just hung there, begging to be crushed. But others? Man, they were nasty. Their sinkers were diving, their sliders were sweeping, and batters were just flailing.
I don’t want to say specifical names.
Because I think some players are fun to use and I do enjoy playing with those submarine pitchers!
