Is the Sinker too Overpowering?

I only swing at sinkers that are up. Anything down is a crapshoot.

I know! Even though he usually throws it into the zone, that knuckler sucks to hit.

How is it OP? The hitting is pretty much identical to last year.

Or are you talking about pitching vs CPU?

Definitely not OP when playing DD. Guys are smashing low sinkers. I rarely throw them now

When I throw them in they seem to work. But I have to mix them up with fastballs to they get crushed. Helps especially if they leak a bit up in the zone.

This is it. It all depends on who is throwing it. If the guy has a 4SFB and a sinker, that can be a horrible combination. Is it a sinker that will fall out of the zone, or a 4SFB that is gonna grab the bottom of the K zone?



One pitcher I faced last night was May. His slurve was a PITA. There was no reason for it to be a problem given the speed or break, but once or twice a plate appearance it would suddenly swing wildly inside and I'd swing at my knees.. I think he also had a sinker and it was very easy to lay off.
